Taylor Swift had a nice vibe at the Grammys last night. Travis Kelce did not attend as her date, he’s still preparing for the Super Bowl (this coming weekend), so Taylor was just there to rep her album, The Tortured Poets Department and its six Grammy nominations. She was also there to hang out with friends and, as it turns out, cheer for two of her favorite people in music: Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar. Taylor ended up losing in all six categories in which she was nominated, but she presented Beyonce with the Best Country Album Grammy and she shared a toast with Jay-Z when Beyonce won Album of the Year. Swift was also super-happy for Kendrick when he won Record of the Year for “Not Like Us.”
Throughout the night – she made zero costume changes – Taylor wore a fire-red Vivienne Westwood corseted minidress. It was flattering and pretty, and a little bit sexy. I’ve made my peace with the fact that she’s not a huge risk-taker when it comes to fashion, and this feels entirely in her comfort zone. My one complaint is that it’s a bit ice-skater-chic, but again, that’s Taylor. She loves that “ice dancer princess” look. One sexy element was a delicate chain on her thigh with a charm with the initial “T”- for Taylor or for Travis.
Are the Swifties mad that Taylor didn’t win another AOTY? I hope not – I think if she had lost to someone other than Beyonce, they might feel some kind of way about it, but given Taylor’s clear happiness for her friend, I hope the truce between fandoms holds. Yes, another AOTY win would have been historic, but it was also a historic snub that Beyonce hadn’t won an AOTY Grammy before last night.

Westwood!!
I see what you did there.
I was not a fan of her outfit, but I loved the photos of her with Blue Ivy.
I am so glad that Doechii won best rap album!!!
Me tooooooo! I was watching alone, but I still screamed and clapped! And her performance was spectacular.
I don’t get it. She has access to literally any and all fashion she could possibly want, she’s built like a supermodel but then she chooses to wear…this. It’s a good dress, that’s for sure. It just gives…nothing. I do agree that her energy was nice last night, though. She looked like she was enjoying herself and if she was bitter over not winning anything, it didn’t show.
I think it was the dress of someone who did not expect to win and was leaning into the presenter role. I don’t care for her fashion sense in general – I think she always looks very “one note” and never combines anything in interesting ways. But it’s a fine dress and she looked good.
There’s a great IG account called @youbelonginthis which is ran by a Swiftie who works in fashion. She basically photoshops great runway looks onto Taylor’s body to give a general idea of how she’d look in them. They’re on another level. If I’m not mistaken Taylor has actually worn one of the looks featured on the account, a Vivian Westwood tartan number.
Agree this is a dress for someone who didn’t expect to win and just came to present and hang out.
But that’s cool.
This made me wonder if she knew she wouldn’t win. I don’t watch any of these award shows so does the person presenting ever win or is that a tipoff that they aren’t going to win a category? Wasn’t there some big hoopla about Bey and the CMAs? Like did she not get nominated? invited? This feels very deliberate on the part of the Grammys!🤭
She desperately needs a new stylist and hairdresser.
I’m convinced that she knows her fan base and has chosen not to become a real fashion girl. I was watching a fashion YouTuber gamely trying to do a vid about what you can learn from Taylor Swift’s style. But even she broke down and said Taylor’s shoes are awful and made suggestions for better ones.
Look – here we are talking about how Taylor could dress better. It’s all attention.
I like the way she looks here. She’s not doing anything revolutionary but it’s flattering and fun and good for dancing. Vivienne Westwood always does such beautiful shaping and draping and corsetry and that’s on display in Taylor’s dress. She’s got cleavage on show and the dress is strapless but it stayed put and looked comfortable.
And if my legs were that long and that toned, I’d be breaking them out too. 😊
My God, her legs are incredible. If I had those, I would never cover them up.
She looked ok. To have that money and that body, what a waste of fashion.
I will say, those heels….. how in the world does she walk in them.
Seriously, my feet hurt just from looking at her.
Yes! Ouch. Those are toothpick heels. I would break them in a hot minute.
It’s not adventurous, but she looks gorgeous. It’s a bit more mature than “ice dancer princess”, I think. Like, she’s graduated to “fishy drag queen”, lol. But it’s flattering, the girls look amazing, shows off every inch of those legs, and the charm is a sexy touch. And I appreciate that she seems genuinely thrilled for her friends when they win, and gets into the performances. She’s literally the biggest star in the world, and also still a big dork.
I still think Blake Lively is styling Taylor now. She always looks now like the Fug Girls’ old nickname for Blake: Boobs Legsly. As they always commented about Blake, pick one or the other, don’t try to emphasize both at the same time. That being said, she looks really pretty here minus the bangs.
Boobs Legsly! Hahahahha
Also agree: the bangs have to go. They are terrible! And on an otherwise perfect Barbie person. Crazy.
Great comment @fancypants. First chuckle of the day. I have to say Taylor’s hair was just starting to improve a little and now it’s back to those awful flat giant half-your-head bangs..
There was always going to be snark about what she won or lost.. I knew it would be a thing here. She’s still the most successful Grammy album of the year and really? She mad 1.5 BILLION dollars on her tour. She’s fine
…literally no one here is mocking the fact that she didn’t win anything? “Went home empty-handed” is just an objective, factual statement, not a diss.
She didn’t get an award this year but I don’t think anyone’s dissing her for that? She just won last year.
I have read a lot of swifties comments who didn’t think TTPD deserved AOTY. Hell, they even thought Midnight didn’t deserve it (Lana was their fav last year). It was surprising even to Taylor. Drake should have shut his mouth up about swifties while trying to diss Kendrick. They are never gonna forget it.
Taylor’s dress reminded me of one of the pink dresses Margot wore while promoting Barbie. Very barbie-like, which looks fine. I don’t care about the red stockings though.
Gee wizz the multi billionaire who owns the best of grammy’s didn’t win this year 🤣🤣🤣
I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan, but I don’t feel she was snubbed. I enjoyed the album that was nominated, but it was very inside baseball and can totally get it that it got skipped by Grammy voters. As someone said further up, Taylor had a hugely successful tour. She’s fine.
Agree with you that the real crime is that it took *THIS LONG* for Beyonce to get an AOTY award. The fact that she didn’t win for Lemonade is one of the greatest travesties of the Grammys.
Oh a like her BUT person.. That’s normallly Meghan bots
Okay Swifty, we get it. She’s the best ever. This isn’t a Meghan bot comment. You can be a fan of someone and not think the latest album is the strongest in their catalogue. It’s okay to not fall over in love with whatever the artist you like happens to release at any given time.
Here’s an example. I love Shinedown. But I think their Amaryllis album is their weakest album. Doesn’t mean I love them any less, just if I were to rate their albums by my preference, Amaryllis wouldn’t be at the top.
I think the T on the thigh was a reference to the line, “What if he’s written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh only in my mind” from Guilty As Sin. A very TayTay thing to do lol.
I’m a swiftie- but i’m kind of thrilled that Beyonce won and Kendrick won.
The grammies have long skewed toward racist awarding, including giving a lot to Taylor.
Again, i’m a swiftie- and she makes great albums i buy and enjoy.
But not only has Beyonce been actually snubbed by the grammys multiple times- Cowboy Carter was an historical album.
I think Taylor does love to win, she is a competitive, type A woman. But she has been the center of the musical world for the last two years, and i think she is fine playing supporting character right now. and she LOVES music, and i bet she thought Cowboy Carter was amazing too.
That chain on her thigh is tacky as hell
Thank you! It looks so trashy.
I think she looks great here, and I loved the chain. It was about as edgy as Taylor’s going to go.
Loved her enthusiasm for Beyonce and Kendrick — I was feeling it, too. And given the state of the country, and not only Taylor’s friendships with B&K but her political beliefs, I’m sure she was happy that the Grammys — at long last — gave Black artists their due.
I am a Swiftie, too. Not going to apologize for it. And I’m Team Taylor/Travis. But I hope we next see Taylor consoling Travis over a Chiefs loss. Go, Birds!!
It’s fine, I guess? Boring, though.
And as another poster mentioned- why the red stockings? Add horns/tail/trident and you have a silly halloween costume.
chiefs colors- red and gold/yellow.
She i think is professional satisfied and at rest (probably planning releases and writing music) but after a 2 year tour- she gets to just show up in a pretty, chiefs coded dress, and have a good time celebrating other artists.
Why are people talking about red stockings? She’s bare-legged.
I’m a fan, but THE BANGS.
Why are they like that? So thick! She has such a beautiful face and went years without them. And looked fantastic. We are now flirting with mullet territory.
I don’t follow her closely, but it seems to me she’s almost always had bangs, or some way of swooping her hair across her forehead. It looks like she has a very high forehead and maybe she wants to cover that some.
Those bangs have to go, and the dress is great if your an ice dancer, at least she is not wearing hooker boots, and the right people won, her album was okay
