The 2024 Grammy Awards unfolded on Sunday, February 4, with female artists making a solid impact and dominating major categories on a night that was aptly dubbed the 'Year of the Women.' Taylor Swift made history by winning her fourth Album of the Year award. Billie Eilish won Song of the Year with "What Was I Made For?"
Miley Cyrus took home Record of the Year for "Flowers." The ceremony's live performances were also dominated by women. Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell delivered a moving performance. Other performers included the likes of Dua Lipa and Tracy Chapman, the latter memorably duetting with Luke Combs on a rendition of her hit "Fast Car."
The Big Night
Prominent figures like SZA, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish received the most nominations at the 66th Grammy Awards. The ceremony introduced three new categories: Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album, and Best Pop Dance Recording.
Comedian Trevor Noah was the host of the event, marking his fourth time in this role.
The South African-born former host of the "Daily Show," Trevor Noah, had previously hosted the Grammy Awards in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
The ceremony also featured electrifying performances by top artists such as Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Travis Scott, Luke Combs, Burna Boy, and more.
Legendary rocker Billy Joel made an appearance, performing his new song "Turn the Lights Back On." Additionally, U2 performed live at the Sphere at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
