Taylor Swift has a big reputation at the Grammys.

The "End Game" singer won her very first Grammy at 20 years old, for her second album, Fearless, and she's continued to rack up many more accolades since.

Not only has she taken home some of the most prestigious awards of the night but she has also made history at the award ceremony.

Swift is the first and only woman solo artist to win the Grammy for album of the year three times for her solo recordings, including Fearless, 1989 and Folklore. And at the 2024 Grammy Awards, she made history again as she took home album of the year, making her the only artist to ever win album of the year four times.

Over the years, Swift has been nominated for 52 Grammys and taken home 14 wins.

Ahead, look back at her biggest wins at the Grammys.

During that same ceremony, Swift took home three additional wins including best country album for Fearless, best female country vocal performance for "White Horse" and album of the year for Fearless. At the time, she became the youngest person in the show's history to receive album of the year, at 20 years old.

At the next two Grammy ceremonies, Swift received a total of seven nominations but failed to secure any wins. However, when it came to the 2016 ceremony, Swift came out swinging.

Out of her seven nominations at the award show, Swift won three, including best music video for "Bad Blood," best pop vocal album for 1989 and album of the year for 1989. With the latter award, Swift made history by becoming the first woman to win the Grammy for album of the year twice for her solo recordings.

As she accepted the honor, Swift gave an impassioned acceptance speech about fame.

"There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame," Swift said, addressing the young women in the crowd as she accepted the honor. "But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you will know it was you and the people who love you who put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world."

Between 2017 and 2020, Swift nabbed six more Grammy nominations, though she didn't secure any wins until the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Out of her six nominations at the award show, Swift only took home one, but it was a huge feat. The singer was awarded album of the year for Folklore, marking her third win in the category. Not only did she make history as the first and only woman solo artist to win in the category three times, but she also tied with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon for the most album of the year wins.

Swift once again gave a heartfelt speech on stage as she accepted the honor, thanking those in her inner circle for inspiring her each step of the way. She also thanked her loyal fans, saying, "You guys met us in this imaginary world that we created, and we can't tell you how honored we are forever. Thank you so much and thank you to the Recording Academy. We will never forget you did this for us. Thank you so much."

In 2024, Swift received six Grammy nominations for her 10th studio album, Midnights. Out of the noms, she took home two big awards, including best pop vocal (which marked her 13th win) and album of the year.

As she accepted best pop vocal album of the year, Swift used it as an opportunity to announce her brand-new 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, which she teased she has been working on for the past two years.

The latter award was a huge historic moment as it made her the only artist to ever win album of the year four times. "For me, the award is the work," Swift said on stage. "All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy. It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award too. All I want to do is keep doing this. So thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do what I love so much," Swift concluded.
