Taylor Swift nabs another album of the year Grammy nomination for 'Midnights,' 6 total nods
Taylor Swift racked up six nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards that will be held on Feb. 4. Her nominations include album of the year for "Midnights."
Here's the list, which was announced Friday morning:
"Anti-Hero" - Pop Solo Performance - Taylor Swift
"Karma" - Pop Duo/Group Performance - Taylor Swift feat. Ice Spice
"Anti-Hero" - Song of the Year - Jack Antonoff & Taylor Swift
"Anti-Hero" - Record of the Year - Taylor Swift
"Midnights" - Pop Vocal Album - Taylor Swift
"Midnights" - Album of the Year - Taylor Swift
Lauren Lipman, 32, a YouTube influencer who specializes in Swift easter egg videos and fan reactions said, "No one deserves this more than Taylor Alison Swift. Everyone canceling her and bashing her, this reminds me of Miss Americana when she said she needed to make a better album of the year."
Her friend and co-producer Jack Antonoff received a nomination for producer of the year, non-classical in part for his work on Swift's "Midnights" album.
'Miss Americana' and the heartbreak diss
In Swift's 2020 documentary "Miss Americana," she shares a phone video of her hearing the news of the 2018 Grammy nominations, when her sixth album "Reputation" was eligible.
Her publicist tells her she has been left out of three of the major categories, to which Swift responds, "I just need to make a better record."
"Reputation" was nominated for the best pop vocal album, but did not win. Coincidentally, today is the sixth anniversary of the black-and-white newsprint era's release.
Swift is the only female artist to win the album of the year Grammy 3 times in a row
Although Swift has been nominated for album of the year five times (for "Fearless," "Red," "1989," "Folklore" and "Evermore"), she has taken home the Grammy three times. Here are moments from her acceptance speeches:
"Fearless" win: "This is for my dad. Thank you for all those times you said I could do whatever I wanted in life. And my mom, you're my best friend. This is the story, all of us, when we are 80 years old and we are telling the same stories over and over again to our grandkids and they’re so annoyed with us. This is the story we’re going to be telling over and over again. In 2010, that we got to win album of the year at the Grammys. Thank you!"
"1989" win: "As the first woman to win album of the year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world."
"Folklore" win: "We just want to thank the fans. You guys met us in this imaginary world that we created and we can't tell you how honored we are forever by this."
