Paramore become first female-fronted band to win Best Rock Album at Grammys 2024

Paramore has become the first female-fronted band to claim the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. The band also picked up the award for Best Alternative Perfomance for 'This Is Why'

The Tennessean trio took home the prize for their 2023 album ‘This Is Why’, beating Foo Fighters‘ ‘But Here We Are’, Greta Van Fleet‘s ‘Starcatcher’, Metallica’s ’72 Seasons’ and Queens of the Stone Age’s ‘In Times New Roman’ .

They are now the first female-fronted band to win the award, though it has previously been won by solo female artists Alanis Morrissette and Sheryl Crow in the ’90s.

The album’s title track also won the award for Best Alternative Music Performance, bringing Paramore’s total number of Grammy Awards to three. They previously won Best Rock Song for ‘Ain’t It Fun’ in 2015.

The band themselves didn’t attend the ceremony but shared a photo of themselves eating cake at home in celebration of their win.
