Taylor Swift Wins Album Of The Year In History-Making Grammys Comeback

LOADING ERROR LOADING It’s a love story between Taylor Swift and the Grammys once again.

Meanwhile, Adele is the only other female performer who’s come close to Swift, tying her previous record with wins for her albums “21” and “25.” Swift couldn’t ask for a better re-entry into the Grammy’s good graces than with her universally acclaimed eighth studio album, “Folkore.” The record, which stripped away the singer’s upbeat pop sensibilities to reveal her most adult and emotionally raw lyricism to date, was crafted almost entirely in isolation during the COVID-19 lockdown. “Folklore” went on to become the biggest and bestselling album of the year and Swift’s seventh consecutive record to reach the top spot on the Billboard charts, where it remained for eight weeks. In addition to her “Folklore” nods, Swift also scored a nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media for her “Cats” collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber, “Beautiful Ghosts,” but she lost the award to Billie Eilish’s James Bond theme “No Time To Die.” Throughout her career, the singer has earned a total of 41 Grammy nominations and 11 wins and she clearly has no intent on slowing down anytime soon.
