She's done it again! Taylor Swift made Grammys history on Sunday, March 14, by becoming the first woman to win Album of the Year three times in her longstanding career.
The 31-year-old songstress took home Album of the Year for her surprise 2020 record folklore, which dropped in July. She previously won the coveted trophy for her 2008 album, Fearless, and her 2014 album, 1989.
During her speech, the blonde beauty couldn't help but give her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, who co-wrote "Exile" and "Betty" with her on the album.
"Joe is the first person that I play every single song that I write, and I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine," she said.
“I want to thank — I want to thank James, Inez and Betty and their parents [Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds] who are the second and third people that I play every new song that I write but mostly, we just want to thank the fans. You guys met us in this imaginary world that we created, and we can’t tell you how honored we are forever by this," she continued. "Thank you so much, and thank you to the Recording Academy. We will never forget that you did this for us. Thank you so much.”
The 41-time nominee also was up for several awards this year, including Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Song Written For Visual Media.
The pop star wore an Oscar de la Renta flower dress in addition to a matching mask on the red carpet.
Later on in the night, the Grammy winner performed a medley of songs from folklore, in addition to her evermore album, which was released in December 2020.
Swift and her collaborators, Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, jammed out to "Cardigan," "August" and "Willow" while on stage.
Swift later uploaded a photo of herself with Antonoff, Dessner and his wife, writing, "The fans are the reason we’re floating tonight, and we’ll never forget it."
