2024 Grammys: Miley Cyrus gets her ‘Flowers’ at Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift wins Album of the Year, and Victoria Monet is Best New Artist
Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Sza and Victoria Monet Win Big at Sunday’s Grammy Awards
Miley Cyrus has finally gotten her flowers at the Grammys.
For all of the focus on who'd be major winners at Sunday's Grammy Awards, Cyrus was just hoping to win her first one.
The pop star accomplished the feat, presented with this year's Grammy award for Pop Solo Performance for the song "Flowers" by Grammy-winning singer Mariah Carey, with whom she shares the same initials, a fan-girling Cyrus noted in her acceptance speech.
But, the night at that point was still young, and Cyrus wasn't quite done winning, later receiving the Grammy for Record of the Year.
Cyrus made sure to mention everyone important to those involved in producing "Flowers," and then proceeded to share too much information at the end of her speech.
"I don't think I've forgotten anyone," Cyrus said. "But I think I forgot my underwear. Bye!"
Victoria Monet, mentioned in an earlier piece as one of the stronger contenders for Best New Artist, won the prize Sunday night.
The 34-year-old mom wants her win to serve as an example of perseverance.
"This award was a 15-year pursuit," a joyful Monet said, "I feel like today I'm sprouting, finally above ground."
Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O'Connell, took home Song of the Year for "What Was I Made For?" The song - which the siblings performed at Sunday's ceremony - was on the soundtrack of 2023's highest-grossing film, "Barbie."
For "Midnights," Taylor Swift won Pop Vocal Album, marking the singer's "lucky" 13th Grammy win. But then Swift outdid herself - as well as nominees that included Cyrus, Jon Batiste, Olivia Rodrigo and SZA - by winning Album of the Year.
Swift's big win to end the night marks her 14th Grammy win overall and fourth for Album of the Year.
R&B Artist SZA, who had been nominated for nine awards, left the ceremony with three Grammys, including the one for Best R&B Song for the single "Snooze." SZA now has four Grammys, the first of those coming when her album, "SOS," netted her the award for Best Progressive R&B Album in 2022.
