With Tortured Poets Department earning a nod in the coveted category, the musician has now been nominated for all four of her most recent albums
Taylor Swift has extended her Album of the Year nominations streak at the Grammy Awards. All four albums the musician has released since Folklore have been recognized in the coveted category, including her latest effort The Tortured Poets Department. The nod marks Swift’s seventh Album of the Year nomination, the most of any woman in Grammy Awards history, breaking her tie with Barbra Streisand.
The Tortured Poets Department is joined in the Album of the Year category with Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, Charli XCX’s Brat, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, André 3000’s New Blue Sun, and Jacob Collier’s Djesse Vol. 4.
The album also scored a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, a category Swift has been consistently nominated in for nearly every album she’s released since pivoting to pop in 1989, with the exception of Evermore. Only two albums from that period, Reputation and Lover, were not also nominated for Album of the Year.
Out of her seven nominations, Swift has taken home four Album of the Year trophies in her career. The first was for Fearless, which made her the youngest artist to win in the category at 20 years old. She held the record for a decade before being surpassed by an 18-year-old Billie Eilish in 2020. Swift won again in 2016 with 1989, earned another in 2021 with Folklore, and was awarded for the fourth time for Midnights at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Swift’s fourth Album of the Year win made her the artist with the most career wins in the category. She surpassed three-time winners Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, and Stevie Wonder.
This year, Swift also earned nominations for Record and Song of the Year for “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone. The collaboration is also up for Best Music Video, marking the singer and songwriter’s second solo nomination in the category as a director. She first won with “All Too Well: the Short Film” in 2023. Swift makes an appearance in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance as a featured artist for the first time for her appearance on the Gracie Abrams song “Us.”
With the six nominations Swift has earned ahead of the 2025 Grammy Awards, her total career nominations count has been boosted to 58 nods, including her 14 wins.
