Heading into the night, the singer was nominated for six Grammys including album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best pop vocal album and best rock song.


SZA gets emotional while accepting Grammy for best R&B song

SZA won the Grammy for best R&B song for "Snooze."

The singer got emotional while accepting the award, saying, "You don't really understand. I came really, really far, and I can't believe this is happening, and it feels very fake."

"I'm just very grateful and I'm not an attractive crier," she said before leaving the stage, prompting laughter from the audience.


Lainey Wilson wins best country album

Lainey Wilson won the Grammy for best country album for "Bell Bottom Country."

Kacey Musgraves presented the award to Wilson, who said that the album "truly changed my life."

Other nominees in the category included Kelsea Ballerini for "Rolling Up the Welcome Mat," Brothers Osborne for "Brothers Osborne," Zach Bryan for "Zach Bryan" and Tyler Childers for "Rustin' in the Rain."


Celine Dion presents album of the year to Taylor Swift

Celine Dion took the stage to present the Grammy for album of the year to Taylor Swift for "Midnights."

"When I say that I'm happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart," Dion said before presenting the award. "Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world."

Taking the stage to accept the award, Swift said, "I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life, but I feel this happy when I finish a song, or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love, or when I'm shot-listing a music video, or when I'm rehearsing with my dancers or my band, or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show."

"For me, the award is the work," she continued. "All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy."

With this win, Swift becomes the first artist to win in the category four times. Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon have each won album of the year three times.
