Leading the stars in a wild night of partying was Taylor Swift at Sunday’s 66th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
After winning her fourth Album of the Year, the 34-year-old singer made history and celebrated with her 32-year-old friend Ed Sheeran.

Inside images showed the friends having fun while posing for pictures backstage at the Crypto.com Arena in the city; Ed even gave 55-year-old Kylie Minogue a hug.
Following her two victories, Beyoncé, 42, teamed up with Dua Lipa, 28, while Miley Cyrus, 31, showed off her PDA with boyfriend Maxx Morand, 25.

The celebrity expressed her passion of music in her closing remarks, describing her experiences in the studio, on stage, and even winning significant accolades.
“I feel this happy when I finish a song or when I figure out the code to a bridge that I love,” Taylor stated. “I would love to tell you that this is the best moment in my life,” she added. “I feel this happy when I am short-listing a music video, when I am practicing with my dancers or my band, or when I am getting ready to go to Tokyo to play.”
The work is the award, in my opinion. My only wish is to continue being able to perform this. I’m really fond of it. It brings me immense joy. I’m blown away that some of the people who voted for this award are also thrilled about it. Their only goal is to carry on in this manner. I’m so grateful that you’ve given me the chance to pursue my passion. Wow! Many thanks for that!
