Singer Taylor Swift not only walked away with two top honors at the 2024 Grammy Awards but also etched her name in the record books.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the 34-year-old artist secured victories in the Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album categories for her exceptional work on "Midnights," becoming the first-ever artist to clinch four Album of the Year awards in their career.

Swift's 13th GRAMMY win, particularly in the Best Pop Vocal Album category, added a touch of personal significance to the evening.

Known for her affinity for the number 13 as a lucky charm, Swift playfully remarked during her acceptance speech, "OK, this is my 13th GRAMMY, which is my lucky number. I don't know if I've ever told you that."

Acknowledging the members of the Recording Academy for their votes, Swift also took a moment to appreciate the unwavering passion of her fans, recognizing that their support played a pivotal role in her success.

In a surprising reveal, Swift chose the occasion to disclose a closely guarded secret - the impending release of her 11th studio album, titled "The Tortured Poets Department," set to hit the shelves on April 19th.

With these significant wins and the promise of new music, Taylor Swift continues to solidify her status as a musical powerhouse.
