Taylor Swift Breaks Grammy Record, Announces New Album

Taylor Swift attends the 66th Grammy Awards

Call it karma. Taylor Swift—music superstar, cultural phenomenon, economy stimulator and now singular Grammy sensation—just became the only artist ever to win Album of the Year four times in the history of the awards.

Earlier in the night, Swift’s album Midnights also delivered a win for Best Pop Vocal Album, which she celebrated by delivering some big news from the stage. She’ll release an album of all new material, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19. The project will be Swift’s 11th studio album.

Accepting the award for Album of the Year, her 14th Grammy, a visibly overwhelmed Swift said, "I would love to tell you that this is the best moment in my life. But I feel this happy when I've finished a song or when I've cracked the code to a bridge that I love or when I'm shooting a music video, or when I'm rehearsing with my dancers or my band or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show.

“All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy,” she said. “It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award too. So thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do what I love so much."

Making Swift’s Grammy history-making moment even more noteworthy, her gramophone was presented by another music superstar, Celine Dion, in Dion’s first public appearance in months amid her ongoing health issues.

Acknowledging the standing ovation and applause that immediately swept through the arena, Dion said: "Thank you all. I love you right back. When I say that I'm happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart.”

Just after the presentation of the award, speculation erupted across social media that Swift had snubbed Dion by not acknowledging her from the podium, instead looking in the other direction to share her excitement with her collaborator Jack Antonoff.

Photos of Swift and Dion sharing a warm hug and posing for the camera once they headed backstage seemed to quiet the cacophony.

Aside from Swift, only three other artists have won for Album of the Year three times.

Frank Sinatra took home the trophy in 1960, 1966 and 1967. Paul Simon won for Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970), Still Crazy After All These Years (1975) and Graceland (1986). Stevie Wonder took the trophy for Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life (1976).

Swift was up for a total of six awards. She lost in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Karma," featuring Ice Spice, to SZA and Phoebe Bridgers for “Ghost in the Machine”; Song of the Year to Billie Eilish, who won for “What Was I Made For,” from the film Barbie, and Record of the Year to Miley Cyrus, who won for “Flowers.”
