Taylor Swift is certainly no stranger to the Recording Academy. Over the span of her successful career, the singer has managed to rack up 46 Grammy nominations and 12 wins. In fact, she actually took home album of the year when she was only 20, making her the youngest winner of the award in the show's history.
And that's not the only record she holds. In 2016, she became the first woman to win album of the year more than once for her own solo recordings, and in 2021, she became the first woman to win album of the year three times with "Folklore"'s big win.
The 33-year-old scored four nominations at the 2023 Grammys, including song of the year, best music video, best song written for visual media, and best country song. Though she didn't take home any awards, see Swift's long list of wins ahead.
