Music artists have the power to influence the public with their songs, and sometimes, also with their fashion. That’s the case with the Grammy Awards nominees for 2024’s Best Album of the Year.
The ceremony will take place on Feb. 4 in Los Angeles, and fans are excited to see what Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, Janelle Monáe, Jon Batiste and Boygenius are going to wear on the Grammys red carpet. But for these artists, this won’t be their first time at the rodeo.
Ahead of the ceremony, WWD takes a look back at what the 2024 Best Album of the Year nominees wore to their first Grammys red carpet.

Swift, who is nominated for her hit album “Midnights” in 2024, wore a purple strapless gown to her first Grammys red carpet in 2008. Her dress was designed by Sandi Spika Borchetta, wife of Swift’s former manager Scott Borchetta.
