TL;DR
No major Grammy awards for 2025 were awarded to Taylor Swift. The eligibility year for the 2025 Grammy ceremony was October 2023–September 2024; her competitive releases largely aligned with the 2022 and 2023 cycles. She remains a frequently nominated artist with multiple wins in earlier years. This status clarifier explains the 2025 outcome and how the Grammys timeline affects artist eligibility.
How the Grammy eligibility and award years work
The Recording Academy’s awards follow a specific eligibility and voting calendar that can make it difficult to pinpoint when an artist actually “won” for a given release. Understanding this timeline is essential for accurate status answers. Two cycles govern each calendar year:
- Music season: October 1 of the prior year through the end of the current calendar year.
- Latin season shift (post-2023): Since 2024, Latin categories shifted to an April–October window, but general field and most genre categories remain tied to the October–December evaluation rhythm.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards (2025) honored recordings released from October 2023 through September 2024. The 66th Annual Grammy Awards (2024) honored recordings released from October 2022 through September 2023.

Did Taylor Swift win a Grammy in the 2025 cycle?
Based on the official 2025 Grammy ceremony results and eligibility window, Taylor Swift did not win a competitive Grammy award for releases in the October 2023–September 2024 eligibility period. Multiple widely available results lists, the official Recording Academy highlight coverage, and authoritative outlets consistently report no wins for her in any category in 2025. This absence is not a reflection on her catalog but a function of release timing and category scope for the 2025 cycle. Her most recent competitive wins were for earlier eligibility periods (notably 2024 for Midnights and 2023 for All Too Well).
Context on Taylor Swift’s Grammy wins to date
While Swift has not won new Grammys in the 2025 cycle, her overall Grammy record remains robust. She has won multiple Grammys across Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and other categories across several eligibility cycles. The following table summarizes her widely reported wins through the 2024 ceremony, which remain the latest public competitive wins as of 2025.

How release timing and categories affect Grammy eligibility
Artists can miss a particular ceremony because a project drops just outside the eligibility window or because specific categories have narrow criteria. For example:
- Timing within the window: An album released in early October 2023 was eligible for the 2025 Grammys, but genre-specific categories often require that recordings be delivered to the Academy by deadline periods that occur shortly after release. If a release did not meet those submission deadlines, it could move to the next cycle.
- Category scope: Some Swift tracks fall into genre fields that may have limited slots or specific rules, while others compete in the highly contested General Field categories where advancing in rounds requires strong chart and voter engagement.
What to watch for in future cycles
Going forward, pay attention to official eligibility windows announced each spring, category deadlines, and whether new projects align with the October–December evaluation rhythm. With Swift’s catalog, older classics remain eligible for category fields such as Historical or archiving initiatives, but only recordings from the correct window can compete in standard field categories. If she releases material squarely within the 2025 eligibility period, those could be positioned for the 2026 ceremonies.
Quick takeaway
- No 2025 Grammys: Taylor Swift did not win a Grammy in the 2025 ceremony.
- Eligibility context: The 2025 cycle covered releases from October 2023 through September 2024.
- Recent wins: Her latest competitive wins were for Midnights (2024) and All Too Well (2023).
- What this means: Absence in 2025 reflects release timing and category dynamics, not a reduced legacy.
FAQs
Will Taylor Swift ever win another Grammy?
Yes. She remains a top contender when releases fall within the official eligibility window and meet category requirements. Future eligible projects could return for later ceremonies.
Why wasn’t Midnights eligible for the 2025 Grammys?
Midnights was released in October 2022, making it eligible for the 2024 Grammys, not 2025. The 2025 window ran October 2023–September 2024.
Did any 2023 releases by Swift win in 2025?
No. The 2023 Grammys (held in 2023) honored 2021–2022 releases. The 2025 Grammys honored 2023–2024 releases; none of her major qualifying releases fell primarily in that timeframe.
How can I verify Grammy results myself?
Visit the official Recording Academy website (grammy.com) and review past nominee and winner listings by ceremony year for category-specific confirmation.
Does not winning in 2025 affect her overall Grammy legacy?
No. Her existing Grammy wins across multiple years and categories bolster her legacy, and continued eligibility means future projects can still add to her total.
When is the next eligibility window after 2024?
The next general eligibility window for most categories is October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, for the 2026 Grammy ceremony.
