Taylor beat her fellow nominees Ed Sheeran, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus and Olivia Rodrigo in the Best Pop Vocal Album category.
‘Midnights’ is the tenth studio album by Swift.

The autobiographical songwriting explores broad emotions such as regrets, self-critique, fantasies, heartbreak, and infatuation, using confessional yet cryptic lyrics that allude to her personal life and public image.
