For most musicians, winning a Grammy Award is the ultimate recognition and respect in the music industry. It represents years of hard work, creativity, and dedication. Of course, the most coveted award of them all remained Album of the Year, an honour that has been won four times by the same artist only once in history, by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
