Taylor Swift and Beyonce are two of the most successful artists in the history of the Grammy Awards. Queen B is the most awarded and most nominated artist in the history of the Grammys with 33 wins (with Best Country Album this year) and 99 nominations.

Meanwhile, Swift has 14 wins to her name, with 58 nominations. The pop star is also the only artist in the history of the awards to win the coveted Album of the Year (AOTY) award four times for Fearless (2009), 1989 (2014), Folklore (2020), and Midnights (2022).

(The years pertain to the release date of the albums.)

Despite being massively successful, Taylor Swift has never won the Song of the Year category at the Grammys. Meanwhile, Beyonce had never taken home a Grammy for Album of the Year until 2025— when she won her first award in the category for Cowboy Carter.

Taylor Swift's first nomination came in 2008 in the Best New Artist category. However, Adele won the category that year. Her first win came in 2010 when she took home four Grammys— Album of the Year (Fearless), Best Country Album (Fearless), Best Female Country Vocal Performance (White Horse), and Best Country Song (White Horse).

Taylor Swift's latest win was in 2024 in the Album of The Year and the Best Pop Vocal Album categories for her 2022 album, Midnights. During her acceptance speech for the AOTY, Swift announced her next album, The Tortured Poets Department on stage. The album was released two months later in April 2024.

Her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, was nominated in the same two categories she won in 2024 at the 67th Grammy Awards in 2025. However, Swift lost the Best Pop Vocal Album to Sabrina Carpenter for Short 'N' Sweet.

Meanwhile, Beyonce received her first nod at the Grammys in 2000 as a part of her girl's group, Destiny's Child. The song Bills Bills Bills from The Writing's On The Wall was nominated for the Best R&B Song and R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with vocal categories.

In 2001, Beyonce returned to the Grammys with Destiny's Child to win the first of her record 33 wins— the track Say My Name won the categories R&B Song and R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Beyonce's first solo win came in 2004 for her song, Dangerously in Love, in collaboration with her husband, Jay-Z.
