The artist, 34, is said to have spent around $160,000 (£127,000) on presents for 30 members of her behind-the-scenes team.

An insider told the US Sun that Swift was keen to spoil her inner team following her win to say thank you for their hard work, in what has been a seismic year for the star.

The source claimed that for her female advisors, assistants and agents she picked out $2,100 (£1,600) shoulder bags from Cartier and the brand’s Cartier d’Amour necklaces, made of 18,000 rose gold and costing $2,500 (£1,900).

For the men, she is said to have opted for the Louis Vuitton Nano Steamer, which cost $2,500 (£1,900), and a larger backpack style bag also from the brand.

“Taylor had a historical year, and on a night where she made history, she is always very grateful and thanking the love and constant support from her team and collaborators,” an insider told The US Sun.

“People felt very emotional when receiving the gifts. Everybody loved them.”

On Sunday night, Swift also announced she would release her new studio album, titled The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19.

Swift previously won the award for album Fearless in 2009, again six years later for 1989, and most recently for Folklore in 2020.

The singer-songwriter praised her friend and long-term collaborator Jack Antonoff as a “once in a generation” producer and her fellow nominee Lana Del Rey, who makes a guest appearance on the Midnights track Snow On The Beach, as a “legacy artist” and a “legend in her prime right now” after bringing them on stage with her.

She added: “I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life, but I feel this happy when I finish a song or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love or when I’m shot-listing a music video, or when I’m rehearsing with my dancers or my band or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show.

“For me, the award is the work. All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy.
