It was ladies night at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday.

Taylor Swift , Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus and Victoria Mont won the nights top honors, with Swift becoming the first person to win Album of the Year four times, this year for her record Midnights.

Eilish, who wrote What Was I Made For? for the Barbie soundtrack with her brother and writing partner Finneas, won Song of the Year.

In a tearful acceptance speech for the Best New Artist award, Mont quickly chronicled her 15-year career in the music industry. Mont, who has written for Ariana Grande , Fifth Harmony and several other artists, also won Best R&B Album.

Cyrus won Record of the Year for her hit song Flowers, after also winning the first Grammy of her career earlier in the evening, for Best Pop Solo Performance.

SZA, who was the most nominated artist at the ceremony, won a handful of golden Gramophones.

Other big moments of the night included a Joni Mitchell performance, her first on the Grammys stage; Fantasia Barrino gifted us with a rockin Tina Turner tribute with a cover of Proud Mary, and Billy Joel closed out the night with a highly anticipated performance. Jay-Z was awarded the Global Impact Award and, with his daughter Blue Ivy by his side, gave a pointed speech directed at the Recording Academy. (Notably, Beyonc, Jay-Zs wife, has received the most Grammy nominations in history and has never won Album of the Year.)

Several categories were announced at a pre-show and were not televised. You can read the full list of winners here .

The 2024 Grammy Awards ceremony honored music released from Oct. 1, 2022, to Sept. 15, 2023. The show aired live on CBS and Paramount+ and was hosted by comedian Trevor Noah.

HuffPost reporters and editors covered the awards show live. Keep scrolling for a look at big moments from the ceremony.

who doesn't even acknowledge Celine Dion???????)

Here are some other thoughts I had about the show: The beginning had good energy and momentum and then that In Memoriam section really slowed down the show. The section after that and until the end seemed to drag on forever (with seemingly a zillion commercials). Highlight of the night? Victoria Monts tearful win for Best New Artist. Biggest snub? I still feel like Doja Cat should have been nominated for more awards. I think Scarlet was my favorite album of 2023. Erin

This is what Jay Z was talking about. No shade, but it really is so unbelievable to me that Taylor Swift has four Album of the Year Awards, yet Beyonc has none. The math aint mathing at all. But whatever. Grammys gonna Grammy.

Overall, the show had its moments, but I found myself yawning quite a bit. Happy for those who won and deserved it, indifferent about those who won and didnt deserve it, or whatever Beyoncs husband said. Taryn

This is why I cant trust the Recording Academy. Precisely all of what you both said. Anyway, congrats to SZA, Coco and Victoria Mont on carrying the legacy of R&B. Shoutout to Billie Eilish for her wins as well. Ruth","source":"","title":"Taylor Swift Has Four Album Of The Year Awards Yet Beyonc Has None.

The way that Phoebe Bridgers mouth was agape?! I cackled. She just seemed like she was in complete awe of the sword-wielding woman and Victoria Mont was applauding her. Regardless, I enjoyed the performance and was overjoyed that SZA finally enunciated her lyrics. Ruth

That was such a Scorpio-ass performance, LMAO. Just moody with all the dramatics. But thats why we love SZA, right? It was a solid performance but also not what I expected, since she gives ethereal shroom princess live sometimes. I guess she said she needed to really bring it, since she has the most nominations for SOS. (Which feels like it came out so long ago, because it did.) Taryn","source":"

But “Flowers” felt like such a blossoming moment for her as an artist and an overall bad bitch anthem. Apparently she’s been nominated eight times before, and this is her first win. I’m not mad at her taking it for a song about moving on from a trifling man. —Taryn

Hate to say that I did indeed stick around for Miley’s “Bangerz” era. Growing up with Hannah Montana, she has been such a fixture of my upbringing. I’m very proud of Miley for finally leaning into a sound that is authentic to her. However, I will say that “Jaded” was a better song off the album and should have been nominated. That’s my hot take. —Ruth 

LOL, I feel like I loved that album “Bangerz.” It was all I listened to for a summer. —Erin","credit":"Getty Images","height":1663,"width":2419,"ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"559d86a4e4b096729155675b","fullName":"Taryn Finley","slug":"taryn-finley","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/5c1175211f00001e08267efa.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/taryn-finley"}}},{"authorData":{"id":"61532e6de4b03dd7281075ea","fullName":"Ruth Etiesit Samuel","slug":"ruth-samuel","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/6359a6612000006800ced040.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/ruth-samuel"}}},{"authorData":{"id":"5cf02fd8e4b0e8085e36dff9","fullName":"Erin E.

Taylor Swift Has Four Album Of The Year Awards Yet Beyonc Has None. That's All.

Taylor Swift won Album of the Year for Midnights and all I could do was yawn. I hated the fake surprised look; it just seemed so inauthentic. (Also, who doesn't even acknowledge Celine Dion ???????)

Here are some other thoughts I had about the show: The beginning had good energy and momentum and then that In Memoriam section really slowed down the show. The section after that and until the end seemed to drag on forever (with seemingly a zillion commercials). Highlight of the night? Victoria Monts tearful win for Best New Artist. Biggest snub? I still feel like Doja Cat should have been nominated for more awards. I think Scarlet was my favorite album of 2023. Erin

This is what Jay Z was talking about. No shade, but it really is so unbelievable to me that Taylor Swift has four Album of the Year Awards, yet Beyonc has none. The math aint mathing at all. But whatever. Grammys gonna Grammy.

Overall, the show had its moments, but I found myself yawning quite a bit. Happy for those who won and deserved it, indifferent about those who won and didnt deserve it, or whatever Beyoncs husband said. Taryn

This is why I cant trust the Recording Academy. Precisely all of what you both said. Anyway, congrats to SZA, Coco and Victoria Mont on carrying the legacy of R&B. Shoutout to Billie Eilish for her wins as well. Ruth
