 REVEALED: Over 40 records that could be broken at 2024 Grammy Awards

Ahead of the 66th Grammy Awards, VegasInsider.com chronicled all of the records that could be broken at the upcoming ceremony.

To highlight a few, Taylor Swift could become the first artist to win Album of the year for a fourth time if she wins for “Midnights” and she could also win her first Song of the year trophy for “Anti-Hero” after record-breaking 7th nomination in the category, making her the most nominated songwriter ever.



Billie Eilish could become one of only 3 artists to win 3 Record of the year trophies and she would also be the first female and solo artist to do so if she wins for “What Was I Made For”, while Miley Cyrus could follow in the footsteps of Billy Ray Cyrus and win in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for her collaboration with Brandi Carlile, which would make Miley and Billy Ray the first father-daughter to win in the category on separate occasions.

Additionally, if Jack Antonoff wins Record of the year as a producer on Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, he would join Adele, Billie Eilish and Christopher Cross as the only artists that have won all 4 major awards at the Grammys!
