The superstar hit her lucky number 13 on Sunday night when she took home the award for best pop album
Despite not taking the stage to perform on Sunday, Taylor Swift sure made the 2024 Grammy Awards a memorable night.
Ahead of Sunday’s festivities, fans noticed that her website was broken and giving visitors an error message. Further fueling speculation that Swift had something in the works, her profile picture on Instagram was changed to a black-and-white image instead of the color version that was previously visible — with 13 hours until midnight left to go.
Then, in addition to collecting her 13th Grammy award — best pop album — she also surprised Swifties everywhere when she announced her upcoming new album, The Tortured Poets Department, during her acceptance speech.
