In addition to Antonoff and Sisk, Swift expressed gratitude to various individuals, including Lana Del Rey. Recognizing Del Rey’s impact on female artists, Swift credited her as a legacy artist and a current legend in her prime. Swift emphasized how fortunate she is to know and be friends with Del Rey.

Competing against formidable contenders, Swift emerged victorious over SZA (“SOS”), Olivia Rodrigo (“Guts”), Lana Del Rey (“Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”), Miley Cyrus (“Endless Summer Vacation”), Janelle Monáe (“The Age of Pleasure”), Jon Batiste (“World Music Radio”), and Boygenius (“The Record”).
