Η Τέιλορ Σουίφτ έκλεψε την παράσταση (και) στα φετινά βραβεία Grammy, καθώς έγινε η πρώτη ερμηνεύτρια που κερδίζει το βραβείο για το άλμπουμ της χρονιάς τέσσερις φορές.
Η σούπερ σταρ, Τέιλορ Σουίφτ, που σπάει το ένα ρεκόρ μετά το άλλο, είχε προηγουμένως ισοβαθμήσει στις τρεις νίκες καλύτερου άλμπουμ στα βραβεία Grammy με τους Στίβι Γουόντερ, Πολ Σίμον και Φρανκ Σινάτρα.
Παρέλαβε το βραβείο από τη Σελίν Ντιόν, η οποία έκανε μια απροσδόκητη εμφάνιση. Η Σουίφτ εκμεταλλεύτηκε τη βραδιά για να αποκαλύψει ότι στις 19 Απριλίου θα βγει το νέο της άλμπουμ. Η Miley Cyrus και η Billie Eilish πήραν τα άλλα κορυφαία βραβεία στην τελετή της Κυριακής.
Η Ντιόν έτυχε ενθουσιώδους υποδοχής όταν εμφανίστηκε για να παρουσιάσει το βραβείο για το καλύτερο άλμπουμ, σχεδόν ένα χρόνο αφότου αναγκάστηκε να ακυρώσει όλες τις ζωντανές της εμφανίσεις μετά τη διάγνωση μιας σπάνιας νευρολογικής διαταραχής. «Όταν λέω ότι είμαι χαρούμενη που βρίσκομαι εδώ, το εννοώ πραγματικά από καρδιάς», είπε στο κοινό.
Υπήρξε εξίσου ενθουσιώδης ανταπόκριση όταν η Ντιόν ανακοίνωσε το όνομα της Σουίφτ.Το ιστορικό επίτευγμα είναι πλέον ένα από τα πολλά που έχει σημειώσει η σταρ τα τελευταία χρόνια. Η ίδια δήλωσε ότι «θα ήθελε πολύ να σας πει ότι αυτή είναι η καλύτερη στιγμή της ζωής μου», αλλά ότι απλά και μόνο η ολοκλήρωση ενός τραγουδιού, η πρόβα ή η προετοιμασία για μια συναυλία την κάνει εξίσου ευτυχισμένη.
«Για μένα, το βραβείο είναι η δουλειά», είπε. «Το μόνο που θέλω να κάνω είναι να συνεχίσω να είμαι σε θέση να το κάνω αυτό. Το αγαπώ τόσο πολύ. Με κάνει τόσο ευτυχισμένη. Με κάνει απίστευτα χαρούμενη το γεγονός ότι κάνει ευτυχισμένους και κάποιους ανθρώπους που ψήφισαν για αυτό το βραβείο».
Το πρώτο βραβείο της βραδιάς πήγε στη Miley Cyrus, η οποία πήρε το βραβείο καλύτερης ποπ φωνητικής ερμηνείας για το τραγούδι της Flowers, το οποίο και τραγούδησε live στη σκηνή.
Ο ράπερ Killer Mike κέρδισε τρία βραβεία, αλλά αργότερα βιντεοσκοπήθηκε να απομακρύνεται με χειροπέδες στα παρασκήνια.Η Kylie Minogue κέρδισε το δεύτερο Grammy της ιστορίας της, καλύτερης ποπ χορευτικής ηχογράφησης, για το viral smash Padam Padam.
Και η Νοτιοαφρικανή τραγουδίστρια Tyla έγραψε ιστορία, καθώς πήρε το πρώτο βραβείο καλύτερης αφρικανικής ερμηνείας. Η 22χρονη, η οποία ήρθε τέταρτη στο Sound of 2024 του BBC, κέρδισε για το viral smash Water, το οποίο ενέπνευσε μια τρέλα χορού στο TikTok το περασμένο καλοκαίρι.
