About this deal

Swift has already clinched the Album of the Year Grammy three times—a feat that ties her with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon in the all-time record books.

In today’s streaming-centric music industry, physical albums have become collectible tokens of fandom, and artists have been responding to growing demand. The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement,” she wrote on social media at the time. While many are quick to predict another Album of the Year win for her, it's essential not to jump the gun just yet.Swift previously set the record for the most-streamed album in a single day with her 2022 album Midnights , which featured all new songs, including hits like “Anti-Hero,”“Karma” and “Bejeweled. And yet, perhaps the real takeaway was the manner in which she spoke about her craft that night, some 20 years after writing her first song at the age of 12. Such disparate acts as Denzel Curry and Slipknot have recently released various physical versions of their new albums as well. Her newest rerelease includes all 13 songs from the original album, as well as five new vault tracks, which are “Is It Over Now?

Alongside long-time collaborator Jack Antonoff, she’s set out here to tell “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout [her] life”, as she phrased it in a message to Apple Music subscribers. With the current voting structure, there's a strong possibility that another unexpected outcome could happen at the 2024 ceremony. On October 27th, Taylor Swift became the most-streamed artist in a single day in Spotify history, and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far. There are traces of melancholy layered in (see: “sapphire tears on my face”), but the song feels like a triumph, the sort of unabashed, extroverted fun that would have probably seemed out of place in the lockdown indie of 2020’s folklore and evermore. Olivia Rodrigo's Guts, SZA's SOS, Foo Fighters' But Here We Are and numerous other outstanding releases are all in the running and likely nominees.She previously dropped Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version) and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), which means there are only two left: Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) and Reputation (Taylor’s Version). That plethora of options is great for fans who may want a different version than their friends, or who — as many seem to — feel driven to collect them all. Grammy voters might be wary of granting her the same honor once again in such a short time frame, even if Midnights is deserving of the trophy. Furthermore, Swift's most recent Album of the Year triumph was only back in 2021 for her alternative set Folklore.

Midnights shouldn’t completely overshadow the exceptional work of other artists in contention for the Album of the Year Grammy. Few artists, if any, attract as much attention as Swift does for her promotion and sales strategy, thanks largely to her close relationship with her fans.It continues to sell and stream incredibly well, even after Swift dropped another full-length and scored multiple hits not featured on Midnights. And then out Swift goes, striding through the centre of the song like she would the room: “I can still make the whole place shimmer,” she sings, relishing that last word. It’s also great for Swift, who’s earning more money from increased sales that will impact her performance on the Billboard charts and likely add up to one of the year’s best album debut weeks.
