Grammys 2024 live updates: Taylor Swift breaks record for most Album of the Year wins

Following her hospitalisation in 2015, much attention was placed on Mitchell’s rare condition – which she has spoken candidly about in the past – known as Morgellons disease. The little-known skin condition is characterised by patients as having biting and stinging sensations under the skin. However, the controversial condition has raised eyebrows among the medical community, many of who believe that its symptoms are caused by a psychiatric disorder.

In 2010, Mitchell described her Morgellons disease symptoms in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. Mitchell described seeing “fibres in a variety of colours protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm: they cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral” and suggested the illness was “as if it’s from outer space”.

The ceremony, often criticised over issues of inequality, had a certain amount of making up to do. Mark Beaumont assesses what could prove to be a pivotal moment in pop culture.

The Colombian singer, 30, opened up about expecting his first child with girlfriend Susana Gomez during the E! Live from the Red Carpet pre-show. When asked by host Laverne Cox whether he’s prepared to welcome his daughter, who the couple have decided to name Paris, Maluma replied: “I’m not ready. I’m kind of nervous, to be honest.”

Asked about the “Year of Women” at the Grammys, Bridgers says: “Yeah, I have something to say about women.”

She quotes ex-Grammy Awards CEO Neil Portnow, who once said “women need to step up” if they want to win more Grammys.

“He’s now being sued for sexual assault,” she points out. “I know he’s not dead yet but when he is, he can rot in piss.”

Mr Portnow, who stepped down as the CEO in 2019, has denied the allegations. In a statement given to The Independent, his spokesperson called the allegations “completely false” and “undoubtedly motivated by Mr Portnow’s refusal to comply with the Plaintiff’s outrageous demands for money and assistance in obtaining a residence visa for her”.

Backstage at the Crypto.com Arena, Eilish spoke to reporters about the Grammys “Year of Women” coinciding with Barbie’s feminist message. “I feel very seen,” the singer, clutching two of her four Grammy Awards of the night, said. “Sometimes, it’s great to get a ‘good job’ and this is a huge ‘good job’, so I feel very heard.”

She completed the look with her iconic blonde braids and black beret, a beaded necklace with green stones, and a black cane with a diamond-encrusted tiger head.

And the first person in history to win Album of the Year four times is… Taylor Swift.

Victoria Monét wins her third, and biggest, Grammy of the night for Best New Artist. The “On My Mama” singer beat out competition from Coco Jones, Gracie Abrams, Fred Again, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Noah Kahan and The War and Treaty.
