Taylor Swift has thanked her fans after she scored an “unbelievable” six Grammy nominations for ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
Taylor Swift insists she wouldn’t have received Grammys without the ‘passion’ of her fans
The 34-year-old pop megastar has received nods for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Music Video for ‘Fortnight’, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for ‘Us’ featuring Gracie Abrams.
And reacting to the nominations for the first time, Taylor insisted it wouldn’t be possible without her loyal Swifties.
Speaking at her concert in Toronto, Canada on Thursday (14.11.24), she began: “You guys did something so amazing over the course of the last few months.
“I just mean what you did with embracing The Tortured Poets Department, the album. It’s truly blown my mind because its really emotional for me … this album, I wrote it during the Eras Tour.”
The ‘Anti-Hero’ hitmaker is grateful to her fans for “understanding” the themes on her surprise LP – which she made amidst her ongoing ‘Eras Tour’.

She continued: “I wrote that album, made that album, all [while] trying to keep it a secret from you guys. And then announced the album, and then we basically were, like, working really hard to secretly put together a new chapter in the Eras Tour of The Tortured Poets Department and we wanted to surprise you with it, and we did.
“And you guys have been so wonderful about getting into this album and really understanding where I was coming from with it and you made it by far, the biggest debut week I’ve ever had of an album. And you kept that album at number one for nearly four months.
“And the most recent thing that you did, because everything that happens is a direct reflection of the passion that you show, is you guys got this album nominated for six Grammys. It’s so unbelievable, so thank you.”
The Grammys take place in Los Angeles on February 2, 2025, and Beyonce leads the way with a whopping 11 nominations.
