Taylor Swift won Album of the Year at the Grammys, but stirred up controversy by seemingly ignoring Celine Dion, who presented the award. Although Swift paid her respects to Dion backstage, many on Twitter criticized her for not acknowledging Dion during the ceremony. This was seen as a rare misstep for Swift, who is usually very on point.
The Album of the Year award was the final and most prestigious prize of the night at the Grammys. It was a remarkable moment to see Celine Dion personally come out to present the award. Dion has been battling Stiff-Person Syndrome and has been away from the spotlight, making her appearance even more significant. The audience gave her a standing ovation.
When Taylor Swift was announced as the winner, she ran onstage with her collaborators and Lana Del Rey, appearing overwhelmed with emotion. However, she downplayed Celine Dion’s presence by simply taking the award from her without acknowledging her. This was seen as rude and disrespectful, not only by the audience but also by the internet.
After facing backlash, it seems that Taylor and/or her team quickly realized their mistake. A photo of Swift and Dion posing together backstage surfaced, suggesting that they had made amends. This led many to speculate that Swift’s PR team had gone into damage control mode. Regardless, it seems that Swift managed to make things right with the music legend.
In the end, while Taylor Swift’s initial behavior may have been perceived as disrespectful, it appears that she rectified the situation and all is well between her and Celine Dion.
