She revealed during the awards ceremony that she wrote and recorded the album in isolation but had the privilege of collaborating with some of her musical heroes.
One of the most notable tracks from the album was betty, which happened to be named after Ryan and Blake's third child. Taylor's nod to this famous family didn't come as a surprise, considering their close friendship. She thanked James, Inez, and Betty and their parents for being among the first to hear every new song she wrote.

Winning the Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards is no small feat.

In addition to her Album of the Year win, Taylor received six Grammy nominations at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. Her remarkable achievement didn't stop there; she made history by becoming the first woman to win the Album of the Year category three times, an accomplishment that added another layer of significance to this Grammy win.
