Taylor Swift was the undisputed queen of the Grammy Awards, breaking the record for the most album of the year wins by any artist in history. The pop sensation took home the coveted trophy for the fourth time, surpassing legends like Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Frank Sinatra.
She accepted the award from Celine Dion, who stunned the audience with her surprise appearance after battling health issues. Swift also dropped a bombshell on her fans, announcing that she had secretly recorded a new album during the pandemic.
Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish were the other big winners of the night, sweeping the categories of song of the year and record of the year respectively. The Los Angeles ceremony was a celebration of female empowerment, with R&B divas SZA and Victoria Monét and indie rockers Boygenius winning multiple awards, and musical icons Tracy Chapman and Joni Mitchell delivering emotional and powerful performances.
Killer Mike was the only male artist to win more than one award, taking home three rap trophies. But his glory was marred by a backstage scuffle, which resulted in him being arrested for assault, according to LA police.
