Beyoncé And Taylor Swift Are Bound To Compete Against Each Other For The Grammys’ Top Prize—Again

Beyoncé and Taylor Swift showed the world in late 2023 that while they may be competing against one another in many ways, they also support each other. The two singers made appearances at the premieres for each other’s concert films, as they were released just weeks apart. While they may be on friendly terms, the two are surely about to find themselves in another race for a major award.

Both Beyoncé and Swift have new projects that are eligible for the Album of the Year Grammy. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department were released in early-to-mid 2024, and they are definitely both in the running for what many consider to be the top prize at the biggest ceremony in music.

Swift, meanwhile, is the winningest musician in the history of the category. She’s seen four different projects collect Album of the Year at the Grammys, including earlier this year when Midnights was named the champion. She’s also collected the trophy for Fearless, 1989, and Folklore.

The superstars have only competed against one another once before, which is actually somewhat surprising. Given the fact that they’ve been ruling the charts for nearly two decades together, it’s unusual that they’ve managed to space out their nominated albums just enough that they haven’t run up against one another more than just the one time.
