Taylor Swift And Jay-Z Toasted To Beyoncé’s Album Of The Year Win
Beyoncé finally won the Album of the Year Grammy at last night's ceremony, and her fellow nominee in the category, Taylor Swift, celebrated her friend’s long-awaited achievement. Swift was filmed toasting champagne with Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, as Beyoncé brought their daughter, Blue Ivy, onstage with her to accept the award.

Earlier in the night, Swift presented the Best Country Album award to Beyoncé. The two friends had a moment onstage, embracing briefly before Beyoncé gave her speech.
Swift also raised a glass to Kendrick Lamar’s win for Record of the Year, another category in which she had been nominated. Lamar and Swift previously collaborated on 1989’s 'Bad Blood.'
For her Album of the Year speech, Beyoncé kept her remarks short. 'I’d like to thank and acknowledge and praise all of the firefighters for keeping us safe,' she said. 'I just feel very full and very honored. It’s been many, many years. I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work. I want to dedicate this to Ms. [Linda] Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless y’all. Thank you so much. Thank you.'

Swift and Beyoncé have kept much of their relationship private. But in October 2023, Swift spoke about the difference Beyoncé has made in her life after Bey attended the premiere of the Eras Tour concert film.
Swift wrote on Instagram, 'I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence. The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale. 😇🙏🥹'
