Despite not taking the stage to perform on Sunday, Taylor Swift sure made the 2024 Grammy Awards a memorable night.
Ahead of Sunday’s festivities, fans noticed that her website was broken and giving visitors an error message. Further fueling speculation that Swift had something in the works, her profile picture on Instagram was changed to a black-and-white image instead of the color version that was previously visible — with 13 hours until midnight left to go.
Then, in addition to collecting her 13th Grammy award — best pop album — she also surprised Swifties everywhere when she announced her upcoming new album, The Tortured Poets Department, during her acceptance speech. To close out the night, Swift was awarded the trophy for album of the year and became the first person to ever win the honor four times.
From her Reputation-coded ensemble (an apparent red herring!) to her sweet reunions inside the ceremony, here are all of the superstar’s best moments at the 2024 Grammys.
