Fresh off the heels of confirming SZAmore, SZA solidified her position as a music powerhouse by clinching three Grammy wins on Sunday night.
Prior to the awards ceremony, the highly acclaimed SOS artist led the pack with nine nominations, including a coveted spot in the Album of the Year category. Competing alongside notable artists like Jon Batiste, Miley Cyrus, Janelle Monáe, and Taylor Swift, SZA’s album Midnights emerged victorious, marking her historic fourth win in the Album of the Year category.
Adele, a 16-time Grammy winner, had earlier predicted SZA’s sweep of the awards, expressing confidence that she would “win all of them.” Adele’s prediction proved prescient as SZA secured two wins even before the main ceremony began, including the Best Pop/Duo Group Performance for her collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers on “Ghost in the Machine.”
The 2024 Grammy Awards showcased SZA’s undeniable talent and influence in the music industry, further solidifying her status as a formidable artist. With SZAmore on the horizon and her recent Grammy triumphs, SZA’s trajectory continues to ascend, captivating audiences worldwide.
