In one final surprise of the night, the award was presented by Celine Dion, who has not made public appearances recently since her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome in 2022\. Dion was introduced by host Trevor Noah after Billy Joel’s performance of his first new song in 17 years. Dion delivered a moving speech about the power of music, seeming genuinely pleased to be on that stage, before presenting the statue for the night’s biggest prize. Upon winning, Swift excitedly hugged her collaborators and brought several, including [producer Jack Antonoff](https://time.com/collection-post/6305041/jack-antonoff-interview-person-of-the-week/) and sound engineer Laura Sisk, on stage as she accepted her history-making award. The _Midnights_ singer thanked her producers, including Antonoff, and put the spotlight on her fellow Album of the Year nominee and friend, Lana Del Rey, who is featured on _Midnights_ track “Snow on the Beach.” She ended her speech by thanking her fans and saying that she was excited to perform in Tokyo, the next stop on her Eras Tour. **Read More:** [_The Best, Worst, and Most Surprising Moments of the 2024 Grammys_](https://time.com/6660507/grammys-2024-recap/) Swift beat out stiff competition in SZA’s _SOS_, Miley Cyrus’ _Endless Summer Vacation_, _The Age of Pleasure_ by Janelle Monáe, Olivia Rodrigo’s _GUTS_, _The Record_ from boygenius, _World Radio Music_ by Jon Batiste, and _Did You Know There Was a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd_ by Del Rey. Over the course of Swift’s career, she’s been nominated for 52 Grammy awards, and her record-breaking Album of the Year statue marks her 14th win. This was not the only award Swift won tonight.
