For the fourth time in her career, Taylor Swift took home the top prize at the Grammy Awards - Album of the Year! She made history as the first woman to win four Album of the Year Grammys in history, beating Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, and Frank Sinatra.
While the Swifties have a lot to celebrate, a large majority believe that Swift was "undeserving" of the award, and it should have been SZA's "SOS."
Taylor Swift Wins Big At Grammy Awards
Taylor Swift was having a blast at the Grammy Awards, supporting artists in their acceptance speeches, dancing to their performances, and meeting new people here and there.
Swift took home her first Grammy of the night when U2 awarded her the Grammy remotely from the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada.
She treated her fans with the ultimate gift when she announced a new album, "The Tortured Poets Department" - sending social media into a frenzy.
The top prize of the night, Album of the Year, was awarded by music icon Celine Dion, who seemed to be looking healthy and well amid her Stiff-Person Syndrome diagnosis.
Swift won Album of the Year and took the Grammy from Dion. Many on social media were dismayed at Swift for not paying her respects to Dion, whom many claimed she "snubbed" onstage.
The global pop star was in disbelief when she received her award, especially the historic accomplishment she just made.

Taylor Swift 'Undeserving' of AOTY
While Swifties are celebrating the win, many beg to differ. Plenty of music publications like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork projected that SZA's "SOS" should win, but they all fell flat when Swift was announced the winner.
People on Reddit are dismayed and disappointed with the result, pointing out that no black artist has won Album of the Year since Lauryn Hill in 1999, which was 25 years ago.
"Taylor Swift is ABSOLUTELY undeserving," a user said, with another saying, "SZA was robbed! I knew the Recording Academy was going to play in her face. Screw them!"
"Taylor getting AOTY was a shock, I thought SZA had it locked. Crazy it's by far not her best album and I would've bet against them giving her the record breaking 4th award for it," some said.
"i know the grammys ain't shit but they really took aoty from sza after sos was a cultural a moment, a beautifully versatile work that showed sza's range and took her five years to make and give it's to taylor swift's worst album," a fan wrote on Twitter/X.
