Elsewhere, Miley Cyrus won her first ever Grammy for best pop solo performance for Flowers, as did Karol G who won the Grammy for best música urbana album.
This year’s award show sees SZA as the leading nominee with a total of nine nods, including Album of the Year for SOS and Song of the Year for Kill Bill — a revenge anthem with an R&B ballad. The song was SZA’s first number one on the Billboard Global 200 and US Hot 100 charts. It went on to spend eight weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 before her April 2023 remix with Doja Cat pushed it to number one.
The final awards of the night saw Victoria Monét make an emotional speech after winning Best New Artist - her third Grammy win of the night.
Cyrus had a huge surprise later in the evening winning her second ever Grammy; Record of the Year for ‘Flowers’. During her acceptance speech, she made several swerves thanking her team and members of her family but noticeably not her father, Billy Ray Cyrus whom she is reportedly estranged from.
Album of the Year was then presented by the Grammy’s top secret surprise guest presenter Celine Dion. The star received a standing ovation when she came on stage after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, which caused her to stop performing in late 2022.
She awarded Swift with the Grammy.
