Every year, history could be made at music’s biggest night and this year is no different.
Dozens of artists — including Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish and Jack Antonoff — could break several records at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards if they walk away with trophies.
For starters, Swift could become the first artist to win Album of the Year four times if she takes home the award for her album “Midnights.” She has won the award for her albums “Fearless,” “1989,” and “Folklore.”
Swift could also win her first Song of the Year trophy for “Anti-Hero” after receiving the most nominations of anyone else in the category (seven nominations).
Billie Eilish could become one of only three artists to win three Record of the Year trophies and would also be the first female and solo artist to do so if she wins for “What Was I Made For?,” which was featured in the Barbie movie. Eilish won Record of the Year in 2020 for “Bad Guy,” and in 2021 for “Everything I Wanted.”
Meanwhile if Miley Cyrus wins Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Thousand Miles” (featuring Brandi Carlile),” her and her father Billy Ray Cyrus would make history as the first father/daughter to win in the category on separate occasions.
Additionally, if Jack Antonoff wins Record of the Year as a producer on Swift’s song “Anti-Hero”, he would join Adele, Billie Eilish and Christopher Cross as the only artists that have won all four major awards.
