Taylor Swift's Impressive Grammy Track Record

Published January 30, 2024

Describing Taylor Swift merely as a Grammy winner doesn't fully capture her achievements in the music industry. In fact, she's an iconic Grammy winner with a potentially record-breaking future at the awards. As of 2024, she has been nominated an astounding 52 times across her prolific career and is poised to possibly break one of the award show's most significant records.

Taylor's Grammy Nominations and Wins

Since her first Grammy nomination in 2008 for Best New Artist, Swift has been a regular name on the nominee list for her extensive work across 10 albums, re-recordings, and single releases for film soundtracks. She claimed her first Grammy triumph just two years later, winning 4 awards out of 8 nominations for the album Fearless. With time, her recognition continued to grow.

Swift's album 1989 brought her the most nominations at once, with a total of 10. In contrast, Reputation saw only one nomination in 2019. Despite varying recognition, Swift has secured a total of 12 Grammy awards to date. Notably, three of these wins were for the prestigious Album of The Year award—for Fearless in 2009, 1989 in 2015, and most recently for Folklore in 2020—making her the first female solo artist to achieve this trio of victories.

While she has yet to surpass the Grammy win totals of artists like Kanye West, who has 24 wins, and Beyoncé, the most awarded with 32, Swift is not far behind and continues to make history.

Grammy Nominations and Anticipation in 2024

For the 2024 Grammy Awards, Swift has racked up 6 more nominations, with notable mentions for Song of the Year and Record of the Year for Anti-Hero, as well as Best Pop Vocal and Album Of The Year for Midnights. A win for Album of The Year would crown her the first artist in history to snag the award four times.

The Spectacle of Grammy Performances

Regardless of the outcomes, the Grammy Awards are also renowned for their live performances. The 2024 lineup includes a mix of legends and current stars, with performances expected from Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel, U2, SZA, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Travis Scott, and Burna Boy. While Swift isn't scheduled to perform, rumors have circulated about a surprise appearance.
