The 2024 Grammy Awards took center stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 4. Amidst the glitz and glamour, one performer emerged as the night's biggest winner – Phoebe Bridgers. This talented artist swept the awards, taking home an impressive total of four Grammys.
Bridgers secured three awards alongside her fellow musicians Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, who together form the celebrated girl group Boygenius. Their soul-stirring song 'Not Strong Enough' earned them the prestigious accolades for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. Additionally, Boygenius clinched the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album with their debut record, 'The Record.'
In yet another triumph, Bridgers received a Grammy in the category of Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her featured vocals on SZA's track 'Ghost in the Machine.' These multiple victories solidified Bridgers' position as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
While SZA led the nominations with a staggering nine nods when they were announced in November 2023, it was Bridgers who ultimately stole the show. SZA's remarkable song 'Kill Bill' was up for highly-coveted awards like Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best R&B Performance, though she did not secure wins in these categories. Nevertheless, she did manage to claim the Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Song with her track titled 'Snooze.' SZA's album 'SOS' also received recognition, earning nominations for Album of the Year and Best Progressive R&B Album, the latter of which she triumphantly won.
