True to form, Swift ensured this year's Grammy discourse would be dominated by her music, even if she didn't win a major award.
Alas, the evening ended with Swift notching her record-breaking fourth win for album of the year.
I was even more disappointed to watch Swift win over SZA, whose sophomore album, "SOS," earned universal acclaim.
Despite being the most awarded person in Grammy history, Beyoncé has won only once in a general-field category (song of the year for "Single Ladies" in 2010).
Only 11 Black artists have ever won album of the year.
