Women lead Grammy Awards 2024 with a record number of wins

The American pop star Taylor Swift etched her name in history at the 66th Grammy Awards ceremony, becoming the first artist ever to win the Album of the Year trophy four times.

The superstar had already claimed the coveted Album of the Year award three times, collaborating with musical icons like Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Frank Sinatra.

Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish were among the other artists taking home major awards at Sunday's Grammy event.

Women ruled the night at the Los Angeles show, with R&B stars SZA and Victoria Monét, and the all-female indie supergroup Boygenius, securing multiple accolades, while legendary musicians Tracy Chapman and Joni Mitchell delivered unforgettable performances.

Among male artists, rapper Killer Mike led the night with three wins in the rap category. However, his achievements were overshadowed by an alleged altercation backstage, resulting in his arrest by the Los Angeles police.

The ceremony announced awards in 94 categories. Check out the winners of some of the most prestigious awards:
