Most Grammy awards won for Best Alternative Music Album (female)

Critically acclaimed vocalist/guitarist St Vincent (USA, b. Annie Clark) has won three Best Alternative Music Album awards at the Grammys: for St Vincent in 2015, Daddy’s Home in 2022 and All Born Screaming in 2025, the latter at the ceremony staged at the crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, USA, on 2 February.

First awarded in 1991 (to Sinéad O’Connor), no other female artist has won Best Alternative Music Album more than once, even though female acts have dominated the category in recent years, with Fiona Apple (2021), Wet Leg (2023) and Boygenius (2024) joining St Vincent at the winners’ podium.

The fourth of St Vincent’s most recent studio albums, Masseduction (2017), was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album in 2019, but the statuette went to Beck’s Colors. St Vincent was nominated in four of the Grammys’ six rock categories in 2025: Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song (both for "Broken Man", the first single from All Born Screaming), Best Alternative Music Performance ("Flea", the album’s second single) and Best Alternative Music Album. She collected three awards on the night, missing out only on Best Rock Performance, which went to The Beatles’ AI-assisted “Now and Then”.

The other three-time winners of Best Alternative Music Album are The White Stripes (2004, 2006 and 2008), Radiohead (1998, 2001 and 2009) and Beck (1997, 2000 and 2019).
