Music Video/Film — All Too Well: The Short Film (2023)
Taylor wasn’t at the Crypto.com arena in 2023 when the pre-show non-broadcast ceremony awarded the Best Music Video. However, she expressed her gratitude online, stating, “I can’t put into words what this means to me. For the @RecordingAcad and my peers to acknowledge me as a director, and in doing so, acknowledge my work to try and reclaim my music… I’m blown away. Thank you to all the fans who willed this to happen.”

Album Of The Year — Fearless (2010)
Although Taylor was nominated for her first Grammy Award (Best New Artist) in 2009, she didn’t take home her first trophy at the show until the 2010 Grammys, where she won four awards. Her wins included the most coveted award of the night, Album of the Year. Taylor, who was just 20 years old at the time, won for her second studio album, Fearless, which was released in the fall of 2008. She beat some of the biggest names in music — Beyonce, Lady Gaga, The Black Eyed Peas, and Dave Matthews Band — to take home the coveted honor.
In her acceptance speech, Taylor expressed profound gratitude, stating, “Oh wow, thank you so much. I just hope that you know how much this means to me and to my producer and all the musicians you see on this stage, that we get to take this back to Nashville. Our families are freaking out in their living rooms. My dad and my little brother are losing their mind in the living room right now. This is for my dad, thank you for all those times you said I could do whatever I wanted in life. And my mom, you’re my best friend.”
Best Country Album — Fearless (2010)
Fearless also won Best Country Album in 2010, beating Zac Brown Band, George Strait, Keith Urban, and Lee Ann Womack. At the time, Taylor was fully immersed in country music, although she has since transitioned to pop. She accepted the Best Country Album award onstage at the Grammys, expressing her disbelief at winning such an incredible honor.
“This is my first time walking up those stairs to accept a Grammy on national television,” she gushed. “Thank you so much. I want to thank my record label for letting me write every song on my album. I just keep thinking back to when you’re in 2nd grade, and you sing at your talent show for your first time, and people joke around and say maybe we’ll see you at the Grammys someday, and that just seems like an impossible dream.”
Best Female Country Vocal Performance — “White Horse” (2010)
Taylor also won Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her song “White Horse” in 2010. This award was not given out during the main Grammys telecast; she accepted it during a pre-televised portion of the event. She triumphed over established country stars Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, and LeeAnn Womack.
“This is my first Grammy, you guys!” she said while accepting the honor. “I mean, this is a Grammy! I live in awe of the people I was nominated against in this category. Thank you to anyone who was a Grammy voter and decided it might be a good idea to vote for me for this. I’m so happy. Thank you so much!”
