In her heartfelt acceptance speech, Swift graciously acknowledged her collaborators, expressing gratitude to the likes of her close friend and producer Jack Antonoff, recording engineer Laura Sisk, and the talented singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, with whom she collaborated on the track “Snow on the Beach.”
During the ceremony, Swift shared her deep-seated love and passion for the art of crafting music and the exhilaration of live performances.
“I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life,” Swift reflected.
“But I feel this happy when I finish a song, or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love, or when I’m shot listing a music video, or when I’m rehearsing with my dancers or my band or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show.”

The night unfolded as a whirlwind for Swift, who seized the moment to announce her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” during her acceptance speech for Best Pop Vocal Album.
“I want to thank the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years,” she said. “Which is that my brand new album comes out April 19. It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m going to go post the cover right now backstage. Thank you. I love you. Thank you.”
