Tonight marks the 2024 Grammy Awards (Sunday, February 4), and female artists are poised to dominate key categories, notably the prestigious Album of the Year.
A significant number of nominees in categories such as Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year are women. Taylor Swift contends with fellow luminaries, including Billie Eilish, SZA, Olivia Rodrigo, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, and Dua Lipa.
SZA leads the night with nine nominations, joining a group of artists potentially setting new records in the music industry this weekend. Should she secure at least seven victories, she could become the female artist with the most wins in a single night, currently held jointly by Adele and Beyoncé, each with six wins in a single ceremony.
Marking its 25th consecutive year, Distinctive Assets, a marketing company based in Los Angeles, will once again distribute opulent gift bags to presenters and performers at the Grammys, including Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, and the returning host Trevor Noah. It’s been reported that the gift bags for the 2024 Grammys are estimated to be worth $36,000, featuring an array of luxurious products.
