The pop juggernaut won album of the year for "Midnights" at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Feb. 4, 2024, becoming the first artist to take home that award four times. This came after a massive 2023 for the "Anti-Hero" singer, who kicked off her popular stadium tour and was named Time magazine's person of the year. On Aug. 12, 2025, Swift announced her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl”.
