The 2024 Grammy Awards took place on Sunday 4 February, with female artists dominating the major categories on a night dubbed ‘Year of the Women’.
Taylor Swift won Album of the Year for the fourth time, setting a new record. Song of the Year went to Billie Eilish for “What Was I Made For?”, while Record of the Year was won by Miley Cyrus for “Flowers”.
Earlier in the night, Swift took the opportunity to announce a brand new album, The Tortured Poets Department.
The ceremony’s live performances were also dominated by women, with legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell drawing an emotional reaction and a standing ovation. Other performers included Dua Lipa and Tracy Chapman, who memorably dueted with Luke Combs on a duet version of her hit “Fast Car”.
SZA had led the nominations with nine nods, and ended up winning three.
As awards ceremonies go, this was a night that truly had it all. Even a surprise cameo from Meryl Streep...

All the winners so far at the 2024 Grammy Awards
Billie Eilish and British pop star Kylie Minogue were among the stars to scoop early Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony.
The 66th annual ceremony is taking place at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles, with the main ceremony presented by Trevor Noah. This marks the comedian’s fourth consecutive year of hosting duties.
Eilish and her brother, producer and co-writer Finneas O’Connell appeared onstage to accept the Best Song Written for Visual Media for their hit single “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie album.
The US pop star said she was “in awe” and “grateful every second of my life” for the recognition she has received over the years.
“I am shocked,” the 22-year-old said, also taking time to thank Barbie director Greta Gerwig and producer/star Margot Robbie for allowing her to make a song that “saved [her] a little bit”.
Minogue was also honoured for Best Pop Dance recording for hit “Padam Padam”, which went viral last summer.
Here are all the winners so far at the 2024 Grammy Awards (we’ll be updating this list regularly as the night goes on). You can find the full list of nominated artists here.

The lovely Noah Kahan on the red carpet just now
Hello! How’s everyone doing? I have snacks up the wazoo, including some US-appropriate chocolate-covered pretzels (I got them from my local Lidl in Kent, go figure). Meanwhile, my colleague Tom is in the much-more appropriate LA, where the Grammys are ACTUALLY well underway as stars arrive on the red carpet. We just heard from the wonderful Noah Kahan, who I spoke with at the end of last year as he was about to make his debut on Saturday Night Live. You might expect he’d be overwhelmed by the sudden rush of fame, helped not least by the viral success of his hit single “Stick Season”. But he’s taking it all in his stride - he told me last year that he’s basically been dreaming about this his whole life.

Dua Lipa says she wants to ‘keep people dancing’ as she praises ‘incredible women’ nominees
A brief but fun chat with Dua Lipa on the AP red carpet livestream just now, with congratulations offered for her Song of the Year nomination, “That’s what I aim to do, to keep people dancing.”
Dua Lipa famously called out former Grammys CEO Neil Portnow for claiming women needed to “step up” in order to win awards, after a male-dominated ceremony in 2018.
“It’s just wonderful to see so many women at the top and so many incredible women nominated. I think what we want is just an equal space in the industry, not just on the creative side but on the business side. So hopefully equality in the industry will level out a bit, we’re getting there slowly. Baby steps.”
