AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift had a blast at the 2025 Grammy Awards despite losing in all six categories in which she was nominated. An insider tells Page Six that she "feels honored to have been nominated among so many other incredibly talented artists."
The chart-topping popstar "didn't feel snubbed whatsoever and is grateful for an incredible year, the journey she's had with the Eras Tour, and being on the road with all her fans." Even with no Grammy wins, Swift remained in high spirits, celebrating with friends, and showing genuine excitement for the winners.
Swift received nominations for her eleventh studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," and her collaboration with Gracie Abrams on the song "Us." The "Shake It Off" hitmaker donned a shimmering ruby minidress with a delicate chain and golden "T" pendant, radiating an unshakeable aura of delight, even as each category she was nominated for came and went without a win.
Although missing out the Golden Gramophone, she still took the stage to present the award for best country album to Beyonce Knowles, marking a heartfelt moment that brought historical significance full circle.
Back in 2009, Beyoncé let a young Taylor reclaim her interrupted moment at the VMAs, and now Swift had the chance to honor the legendary singer. This moment was one of the night's highlights, showcasing mutual respect and admiration between the two icons.
Taylor also cheered on her peers like Sabrina Carpenter, who won best pop vocal album for "Short n' Sweet." Swift couldn't hide her excitement, celebrating like a proud mentor. Similarly, she toasted Kendrick Lamar when he won record of the year and best music video. Their friendship, dating back to their "Bad Blood" collaboration, made the gesture heartfelt and sincere.
In footage and photos that went viral on the internet, Swift was seen raising her glass to K. Dot when he delivered his speech during one of his wins. She also danced up a storm during Janelle Monae's performance, snatching up Monae's jacket and wearing it when the singer took it off and threw it to the crowd.
Swift was spotted mingling with industry peers, dancing to Charli XCX's "Von Dutch," and clinking glasses with Jay-Z. Swift's joyous demeanor disproved any accusations of performative joy, reflecting genuine happiness for the accomplishments of her peers.
For Swift, the 2025 Grammy Awards was less about the trophies and more about the recognition of artistic journeys and milestones. Her presence, full of grace and celebration, reminded everyone that true success lies in the respect and joy found in shared achievements and moments of unity.
