Taylor Swift has gone viral again – and this time it’s for all the wrong reasons.
The Love Story songstress, 34, made history at the 2024 Grammys as she broke the record for most Album of the Year wins, her fourth time taking the title. But as My Heart Will Go On hitmaker Celine Dion stepped on stage to present the gong to Taylor, she was accused of “blanking” the singer.
Celine is battling incurable stiff-person syndrome, forced to cancel her 2024 tour and step back from her singing career as she deals with muscle spasms and frozen muscles. She made a rare appearance at the ceremony, looking fabulous in a terracotta coat and stunning gown, as she reflected on winning the award herself 27 years ago.

Celine handed the award over to Taylor, with fans pointing out she didn’t acknowledge her fellow star or make eye contact. Instead, she threw a look over her shoulder at her album collaborators to share the moment with them.

Fans were in uproar over the viral moment on social media, with one fuming: “As someone who has defended Taylor, I can’t defend this. No acknowledgement of Celine whatsoever.” Another added: “Taylor not acknowledging Celine and then SNATCHING the Grammy from her… JAIL.”
A third fan echoed: “Taylor Swift completely ignoring Celine Dior like she was some trophy model presenter was #GRAMMYS was wild. She’s won this three times and usually such a pro. But to ignore an icon, who is dealing with so much? Yikes.”

As somebody else followed up: “Taylor Swift will never EVER live down ignoring Celine Dion at the Grammys.” Thankfully there seemed to be no bad blood between the pair, as they were later spotted hugging and snapping pictures together backstage.
Speaking on stage amid her ongoing health battle, Celine told fans: “Thank you, all! I love you right back. You look beautiful. When I say I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart. Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world.”

She added: “And now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends Diana Ross and Sting presented to me 27 years ago. These are the outstanding nominees for album of the year.”
Along with making history with her award win, Taylor left fans distracted as she announced a brand new album after scooping her 13th Grammy. Entitled The Tortured Poets Department. She shared a stunning snap of the album cover, which showed a braless Swift reclining on a bed and grabbing her crotch.
