Previously, Taylor won the award for her albums Fearless, in 2010, and 1989, in 2016.
Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder are the only other artists to win the Album of the Year category three times.
During her acceptance speech, Taylor gave her longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn a sweet, little shout-out.
She said: “Joe is the first person that I play every single song that I write, and I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine.”
The two have co-written multiple songs together, including Exile and Betty off her Grammy-winning album Folklore.

“Thank you so much and thank you to the Recording Academy. We will never forget you did this for us. Thank you so much.”
She beat out Jhené Aiko’s Chilombo, Black Pumas’ self-titled album, Coldplay’s Everyday Life, Jacob Collier’s Diesse Vol. 3, Haim’s Women in Music Pt. III, Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia and Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding for the award.
