Trailblazing women reigned supremeat this year’s Grammy Awards, and it was the industry’s golden girl Taylor Swift who was the toast of the town.
Not only did the pop powerhouse make history by becoming the first artist to win the night’s most coveted award – Album of the Year – four times, she also sent her global fanbase into a frenzy by using the occasion to announce her next release.
BIG REVEAL
“I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the past two years,” she said as she picked up another gong: the Best Pop Vocal Album award, also for Midnights.
“My brand-new album comes out on 19 April. It’s called The Tortured Poets Department,” she said, as the auditorium erupted into rapturous whoops and cheers.
It came as no surprise that the 34-year-old dominated the event; 2023 was arguably Taylor’s biggest year yet, with her net worth topping $1bn, the release of Midnights and her Eras Tour sweeping the globe.
