It cements her position as the one of the greatest songwriters of her era – although she was gracious enough to use her speech to praise fellow nominee Lana Del Rey, calling her “a legend in her prime” who has set the agenda for an entire generation of female artists.

Despite Taylor taking the main title, it was a fairly even-handed night by Grammy standards.

Favoured nominees like Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, SZA and Boygenius all went home with multiple prizes, while the best new artist went to R&B star Victoria Monét – the first time a female R&B act has scooped that award since Alicia Keys in 2002.

Along the way, there were plenty of surprise appearances (Celine Dion!) and show-stopping performances (Burna Boy, Dua Lipa).

Here are the highlights, lowlights and takeaways from “music’s biggest night”.

TAKEAWAY: Taylor Swift wasn’t just recognised for her music

By any metric, it’s an incredible feat: Taylor Swift has won album of the year three times more than The Beatles, two more than Adele and one more than Stevie Wonder.

In fact, she’s won the prize more than anyone. Ever.

Her latest honour is for 2022’s Midnights – a hazy, dream-scrubbed collection of songs about late-night obsessions.

At the time of release, it was not her best-received album. And for that reason, many people thought R&B star SZA or indie band Boygenius were more likely to win.

But the Grammys aren’t simply about musical merit, and Swift is currently in the middle of an imperial phase. Her Eras tour has broken box office records, boosted local economies, prompted a government inquiry into Ticketmaster and even caused seismic activity.

The singer has also been named Time Magazine’s person of the year, while her romance with Travis Kelce brought new eyes to American football.

It’s hard to argue against her cultural dominance – but it all stems from the music.

That’s a factor the Recording Academy’s 11,000 voters will have been keenly aware of. They take songwriting incredibly seriously, which means they take Swift – who exists at the crossroads of commercial success and sonic innovation – seriously as well.

So her fourth Grammy win was all but inevitable, even if your preferred Taylor Swift album is Folklore (correct answer), 1989 (also acceptable) or Lover (we need to have words).

Kylie Kelce Shares Heartwarming Video of Daughter Wyatt Set to the Perfect Taylor Swift Song

Kylie Kelce is a Swiftie just like the rest of us. She just posted a sweet video of her 4-year-old daughter Wyatt, who she shares with husband Jason Kelce, and it’s set to the perfect Taylor Swift song.

The TikTok starts with the preschooler sitting on the couch reading. She’s dressed in a gray Eagles t-shirt to support the football team her dad plays for as she flips through the pages. Then, the video cuts to a baby Wyatt — still in an Eagles shirt — sitting in a playpen reading a book about farm animals. Taylor Swift’s “Never Grow Up” plays, and we are feeling so emotional with the lyrics and the flashback.

“Don’t you ever grow up. Just stay this little,” Swift croons, and it’s impossible not to tear up a little. Why do babies have to grow up so fast?

If you’re gonna try to make a headline out of this, you better offer a suggestion of a better audio… because there isnt one. (Eagles gear was a happy accident.)

♬ Never Grow Up – Taylor Swift

Last month, Kylie called out Page Six on TikTok, which claimed she was “trying to avoid the Taylor Swift spotlight” that’s on the Kelce family after Jason’s brother Travis Kelce started dating the “Karma” singer in September.

“I said it’s not my cup of tea to like, have attention on me. I didn’t say that,” she said in the video, while pointing at the headline.

“That seems like a stretch to me. You’re reaching, you are reaching. You’re reaching!”

In Kylie’s video of Wyatt, she addressed the media in her caption. “If you’re gonna try to make a headline out of this, you better offer a suggestion of a better audio … because there isn’t one,” she said. Gotta agree with her there!

She added, “(Eagles gear was a happy accident.)”

So cute! People took to the comments praising the video and Kylie’s support of Swift. “You’re about to break the internet. This is precious!” one person wrote.

“Absolutely no better audio … her songs are the soundtrack of life. Love this … ” another said.

“Okay but imagine growing up and your aunt is Taylor Swift? 😭” another person said.

This isn’t the first time Kylie’s joked about the “Cruel Summer” singer. In October, she joked about all the Swifties becoming NFL fans after Swift starting dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. She shared a video of Wyatt watching football, captioning it, “Just another swiftie tryna learn football, or a kid tryna avoid a nap. Who knows? #GoBirds.”

In addition to Wyatt, Kylie and Jason also share daughters Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 9 months. But Wyatt is the “ring leader.”

“I tell everybody, he comes to our house to visit and the poor guy doesn’t sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, ‘No, no, you sit on the floor. We’re gonna do a puzzle. We’re gonna build blocks. We’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do that,’” Kylie told PEOPLE. “Our oldest, she’s our boss. She’s our ring leader, and she just has demand after demand for him. And I’m like, ‘Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?’”

“He was like ‘Yeah, I don’t think I can.’ And so he will do it,” she continued. “She’ll be like, ‘Jump up and down.’ He’ll do it. ‘Roll on the floor,’ he’ll do it. ‘Be the pony,’ he’ll do it. So he’s all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through.”

This family seems to have such a strong bond, and we love that they are supporting Taylor Swift now too!
