And with Swift (who also performed at this year’s ceremony) up for six of the 2021 Grammys trophies, including Song of the Year for “Cardigan” and Album of the Year for folklore, she added to her tally. Read on to find out just how many Grammys Taylor Swift has won, including the 2021 awards.
How many Grammys does Taylor Swift have?
Including what she won from the 2021 Grammys ceremony, the 31-year-old singer-songwriter has won 11 golden gramophones so far.
How many times has Taylor Swift been nominated for a Grammy?
Including this year’s nominations, a whopping 41! Ever since her 2006 debut album Taylor Swift and her 2008 nomination for Best New Artist (which she lost to AmyWinehouse), Swift’s received at least one Grammy nomination for every single album she’s released.
When did Taylor Swift win her first Grammy?
Swift won her first Grammy in 2010 at the tender age of 20. Her second-ever studio LP, Fearless, took home Best Country Album as well as the night’s top prize, the all-genre Album of the Year. The feat made her the youngest-ever Album of the Year winner in history. That record would stand until 2020, when then-18-year-old Billie Eilish won Album of the Year for her debut LP, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
How many times has Taylor Swift won Album of the Year at the Grammys, before 2021
Being nominated for AOTY is nothing new for Swift. She’s been up for the honor four times, including this year for folklore, and won three times including tonight. Besides taking home AOTY for Fearless in 2020, her smash-hit LP 1989 was also honored with Album of the Year in 2016. That made her the only female Grammy-nominated artist in history to win AOTY twice. Now, she’s the only female Grammy-nominated artist in history to win AOTY three times, as she just won for Album of the Year in 2021 for folklore. The only time Swift’s been nominated for Album of the Year but lost out on the Grammys’ top prize was for Red in 2014, when she lost to Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories. In 2016, Swift famously used her 1989 Album of the Year acceptance speech to throw shade at Kanye West after he said about her on his track “Famous,” “I feel like me and Taylor Swift might have sex”—while also claiming he’s the one who made her famous.
What other Grammys has Taylor Swift won?
Her list of wins includes two Grammys for her Fearless track “White Horse,” two for “Mean” off her album Speak Now, plus Best Pop Vocal Album for 1989 and Best Music Video for one of her best-selling singles off that LP, “Bad Blood” featuring Kendrick Lamar.
Who has more Grammys than Taylor Swift?
Believe it or not, plenty of people do! Swift’s 10 trophies pale in comparison to producer Quincy Jones’ 28, singer-songwriter Alison Krauss’ 27, Beyoncé’s 22, or the 21 won by Bey’s husband, Jay-Z. The band U2 also has 22 Grammys, while Vince Gill and (uh, oh!) Kanye West have 21 apiece. “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen has 20. Next, let’s look back on Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s love story.
