Interestingly, this wasn't the only record the Eras Tour star made. Swift's 10th studio album Midnights' nod for the Album of the Year, makes it her sixth nomination in this category. She is now tied with Barbara Streisand for most nominations by a female artist in this category.

Apart from Song of the Year and Album of the Year, Swift also raked in four more nominations- Record of the Year for Anti-Hero, Best Pop Solo Performance for Anti-Hero, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Karma ft. Ice Spice, and Record of the Year for Anti-Hero. She now has 52 nominations in total, making her the third most Grammy-nominated artist.
