How Taylor Swift Made History With Her Win At The Grammy Awards

Taylor Swift's attendance at the 63rd Grammys on March 14, 2021, was especially notable because it marked the first time in five years that she performed at the event. Taking the stage in an ethereal and sparkly dress, the star performed songs of off of her 2020 albums, Evermore and Folkfore, wowing the audience and fans alike.

Outside of performing, the Pennsylvania native made headlines for her reaction to Harry Styles winning Best Pop Solo Performance for his popular tune "Watermelon Sugar." In case you missed the memo, Swift and the One Direction alum dated way back when. Oh, and did we mention her other notable ex, John Mayer, also performed at the show? Talk about a walk down memory lane.

OK, enough about the exes (talking about her love life is so 2010, no?) — let's take a moment to discuss how Swift fared at the Grammys. Although the singer won just one award, she still came out on top. Stick with us to find out how Taylor Swift made history with her win at the Grammy awards.

Taylor Swift won Album of the Year for her widely celebrated Folklore, making her "the first female artist to ever win the award for Album of the Year three times, following her wins in 2010 for Fearless and 2016 for 1989," as Just Jared noted. Congrats, lady!

Of course, fans were thrilled for the star, with one commenter tweeting, "You deserve it queen." Someone else said of her win, "For all the haters!!" Another fan quipped, "Like her or not she's a legend!" True story.

Swift was as equally as overjoyed to win the honor, joking about the album's impact on the world, "It turned out everyone needed a good cry as well as us." The star accepted the award alongside her collaborators, including The National's Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, to name a few talents. She concluded her speech, "Thank you to the Recording Academy, we will never forget that you did this for us."
