The biggest music event of the year is being held for the 66th time. The 2024 Grammy Awards will be held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles at 2 a.m. on Monday, Norwegian time.

Anti-log can be eliminated
This year, Taylor Swift could make history. If she wins in the “Album of the Year” category, with the album “Midnights” (2022), she will become the first artist, regardless of her gender, to win four awards in the album category. In this case, it will be her fourth win in a row, after receiving Grammy Awards for “Fearless” (2021), “1989” (2023), and “Folklore” (2020).
If she wins her fourth Album of the Year win, she will beat out legends like Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra, who each took home three album awards.
Swift has already broken the record for the most nominations in the “Song of the Year” category, with her seventh nomination for her hit “Anti-Hero.” However, she has never won, meaning she currently holds the record for the most nominated female artist who has never won in this category.
We have already started celebrating: – We won

– This is a tragedy, writes one fan on X.
– We lost, write several.
But others celebrate the collaboration between artists for its own sake.

After her huge success “Barbie”, she was also nominated this year in the “Song of the Year” category for the film’s theme song. The singer has already won Best Original Song at this year's Golden Globe Awards for “What Are You Made For?”, with his brother Finneas O'Connell.
If she also wins the Grammys, she will become the only artist to take home three song awards, beating out artists like Adele, Norah Jones and Roberta Flack, and mentions like Paul Simon and Bruno Mars.
