Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Lana Del Rey says she “did not feel one ounce of negative emotion” during 2024 Grammys
nme.comLana Del Rey has claimed that she “did not feel one ounce of negative emotion” at this year’s Grammys.The 2024 ceremony for The Record Academy took place over the weekend, and was held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday night (February 4).
On the night, Del Rey was nominated in five categories: Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album (‘Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’), Song of the Year and Best Alternative Music Performance (‘A&W’) and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (‘Candy Necklace’ with Jon Batiste).Ultimately, she went home empty-handed on the night, and it was Taylor Swift who snatched up the award for Album of the Year with her 2022 LP ‘Midnights’.
When accepting the award, the latter turned heads on the night by awkwardly dragging the ‘Video Games’ singer onto the stage with her.Following the end of the 2024 ceremony, some fans began speculating that the singer may have taken the losses badly – particularly after she posted a selfie online, posing with a handgun.Now, Del Rey has spoken out against the rumours and clarified that she actually “loved” being at the Grammys this year.“I literally just loved being there.
I love to see everyone, get the tea and hang out. Get dressed up,” she wrote in the comments section of a post shared by a fan account. “I literally did not feel 1 ounce of negative emotion at any point in that award ceremony.”She also added that the night was “pure funniness and laughter”.Although Del Rey went home without an award on Sunday night, for Swift the victory made her the first female artist to win The Recording Academy’s biggest award more than twice.
