Beyond Swift, the night celebrated the achievements of various female artists. Cyrus owned the 2024 Grammy Awards, grabbing her first-ever pair of Grammy wins. The singer, rocking a silver ensemble, not only delivered a dynamic performance of "Flowers" but also snagged the Record of the Year award.

Her enthusiasm was palpable as she energetically slammed the microphone and its stand, concluding her speech with the words: 'This award is amazing, but I genuinely hope it doesn’t change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday.

Celine Dion, despite facing health challenges, received a standing ovation as she presented an award. "When I say that I am happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart," the Canadian singer said.

SZA, a.k.a. Solána Imani Rowe, also had a victorious night, walking away with several accolades, including Best Progressive R&B Album for "SOS" and the prestigious Best New Artist award.
