Taylor Swift makes Grammys history with fourth album of the year win

There was drama last night at the 66th annual Grammy Awards. Jay-Z clapped back at the Recording Academy for snubbing his wife Beyoncé. Killer Mike was led out of Crypto.com Arena in handcuffs. Taylor Swift won album of the year for "Midnights," making her the first artist in the show's history to win the prize four times. Joni Mitchell brought everyone to tears.

Then, Swift set the world on fire by announcing a brand-new album, "The Tortured Poets Department" on stage. This will be her 11th record and will come out April 19.

• Women owned the night: Many of the night's most coveted awards went to female artists including SZA for best R&B song and best pop duo/group performance and Victoria Monét, who scored best new artist, while Michelle Obama won for best audio book, narration and storytelling recording.

• Taylor didn't win song of the year: Billie Eilish took the trophy for her "Barbie" ballad "What was I made for?"

• Record of the year and best pop solo performance went to Miley Cyrus' "Flowers" and were her first and second Grammys. Lainey Wilson and Karol G were also first-time winners.

What to know about a $118 billion package from the Senate

Lawmakers on Sunday revealed a $118 billion package that includes a long-awaited bipartisan deal to address the migrant crisis at the southern border and new aid for Ukraine, Israel, and other U.S. allies, embarking on a challenging path forward in the House where Republican leadership quickly panned it. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he plans to begin the process of considering the legislation this week as "the overwhelming majority of senators want to get this done." But the agreement has already faced sharp criticism from former President Donald Trump and other GOP leaders. Its odds of passing in Congress aren't clear.

President Joe Biden easily won the South Carolina Democratic primary Saturday, notching his first victory in his largely unobstructed path to become the Democratic nominee in a possible rematch against Donald Trump in the fall. Biden's decisive win, which was called almost immediately after polls closed, was not a surprise given his lack of a formidable challenger.

Apple Vision Pro has taken the world by storm quicker than anyone would have thought.
