The Grammy Awards 2024 are gearing up to spotlight female excellence, with Taylor Swift and SZA expected to shine. The competition will be intense, and even songs from the Oscar-nominated Barbie movie are making a mark.
Taylor Swift is a strong contender for the night's top honours. After a year of cultural dominance with her album "Midnights" and a highly successful Eras tour, predicted to surpass $2 billion in revenue, she aims to become the first artist to win Album of the Year four times.
Swift's track "Anti-Hero" could also secure her first wins in the Record and Song of the Year categories. Currently tied with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon at three wins each, she seeks to make history at the Grammys.
Singer SZA takes the lead with nine nominations, boosted by her second album, "SOS," reaching the number one spot on the US charts. The album's standout single, "Kill Bill," weaves a tale of revenge and murder, earning critical acclaim for its diverse musical influences.
In an unusual turn, Jon Batiste is the sole male contender for the top awards: Record, Album, and Song of the Year. This stands out in a week when studies recognised improvements in music industry representation but also highlighted instances of sexism and misogyny.
The dominance of female artists at the Grammys signals a noteworthy celebration of women's achievements in the music industry, making the 2024 ceremony a significant and historic event.
The 2024 Grammy Awards will happen on Sunday, February 4, from 8 to 11:30 p.m. ET/5 to 8:30 p.m. PT.
Just like last year, the Grammys will occur at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Comedian and Grammy nominee Trevor Noah will host the event for the fourth consecutive year.
