That came when her album “Midnights,” released to much fanfare in 2023, took the top award. Not everyone was fawning over Taylor, however, with some on social media expressing their displeasure with how, in their view, rudely she acted when she accepted their award.
Essentially, they argued that Ms. Swift should have done more to show her gratitude to Celine Dion, who presented the award to Taylor despite having been diagnosed with an incurable neurological disease called “stiff man syndrome.” To many viewers, it appeared that Taylor ignored Dion when accepting the award despite Dion’s difficulty in being on stage.For example, one commenter on Fox News’ post on Facebook about Taylor’s Grammys win wrote, “Good for her but she should absolutely be ashamed of herself!! She walked on stage, took the Grammy from Celine & dismissed her like she was no one! Celine Dion is battling a disease & I’m sure struggled to even show up! I felt so sorry for her & the way she was treated! Somebody, please teach Ms. Taylor some manners!”
Trying to rebut that, one commenter said, “she gets one minute. She didn’t dismiss her. She accepted the award and went to the microphone like she was told to do. Geez this is some god awful projection here.” Firing back, however, someone else in the anti-Taylor camp said, “girl she acknowledged everyone else on stage but her. She just grabbed the award and did her speech ”
A similar battle played out on X (formerly Twitter). There, one poster said, “Did Taylor Swift disrespect or snub Celine Dion? No. Was she clearly distracted by someone behind her at the exact moment Celine Dion handed her the award? 100000%. Stop overanalyzing her every move looking for proof that she should be hated because you already don’t like her.” Disagreeing, another commenter added, “I adore this woman. She’s almost my entire personality. You’re right that the sharks circled immediately. But Celine is Celine, and this was cringy. I bet Taylor would agree watching it back.” NOTE: This is borrowed
