This Monday, Taylor Swift became the first artist to win the Grammy Award for Best Album for the fourth time, honoring “Midnights” at the 66th Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Awards.
“My head is exploding,” Taylor Swift said in her acceptance speech for the night’s biggest award in Los Angeles. “My prize is work. I love her very much,” he continued. “All I want to do is keep doing it.”
Until now, only three artists, all men, have won the Album of the Year Grammy three times: Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder. Grammy Award host, comedian Trevor Noah, has repeatedly noted the historical nature of Taylor Swift’s victory.
