Taylor Swift recently created history at the Grammy Awards by becoming the first performer to win the prize for Album of the Year four times. The singer and songwriter bagged the award for her album Midnights, which also helped her secure the Best Pop Vocal Album award. She had previously been tied on three best album wins with Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Frank Sinatra.

After receiving the award Swift said she “would love to tell you that this is the best moment in my life”, but that simply finishing a song, rehearsing or preparing to play a show makes her equally happy. “For me, the award is the work,” she said. “All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy. It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award too.”
