Music history was made at this year’s Grammys when Taylor Swift set a new record for winning Album Of The Year more times than any other artist in history.
But Taylor isn’t the only musician with cause for celebration after this year’s ceremony.
The 2024 Grammys saw a number of stars winning their first ever awards at the ceremony, including A-list singers, rising stars and one performer who had been nominated 17 times before finally securing a win.
Here are all the singers and musicians who won their first Grammy in 2024…
Miley Cyrus

The road to a Grammy win was a long one for the former Hannah Montana star, who earned her first nomination a decade ago thanks to her hit album Bangerz.
In 2024, she picked up two wins for her hit song Flowers, including the coveted Record Of The Year prize.
Victoria Monét

Singer-songwriter Victoria Monét took home three awards this year, including Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album.
Perhaps most impressively, she was named Best New Artist during the ceremony, and took a moment to deliver an empowering speech about the importance of persevering and backing yourself, even when it’s difficult to do so.
Boygenius

The indie super-group landed three awards in total during this year’s ceremony.
Band member Phoebe Bridgers (who had previously won Grammys as a solo artist) was actually the night’s top winner in 2024, after securing an additional win for her collaboration with SZA.
Paramore

They received the Best Rock Album prize for their release This Is Why, as well as Alternative Music Performance for the album’s title song.

He came out on top in two categories, Best Dance/Electronic Recording and Best Dance/Electronic Album, making him the UK act with the most wins in 2024. However, he’s not thought to have attended the ceremony this year.
