Taylor Swift’s victory at the Grammys this weekend included a record-breaking fourth prize for Album of the Year, but a scene involving Celine Dion has sparked debate.
Swift mistakenly disregarded Celine Dion, who was facing a serious illness, at the prize presentation.
Swift exchanged passionate gestures and “secret handshakes” with her team, which included long-term producer Jack Antonoff and close friend Lana Del Ray, as they celebrated on stage.
Taylor’s enthusiasm for Lana was clear, with the pop star describing her as “a legend in her prime right now.”
However, her relationship with Dion was less noticeable, raising questions about the significance of the award presenter.
Critics believe that Swift’s activities are hypocritical, as they contradict her public position on female empowerment and camaraderie among women.
Despite the singer’s public support for women encouraging one another, her actions appear to contradict this notion.
Dion, a five-time Grammy winner with millions of album sales worldwide, has achieved enormous success without relying on high-profile relationships or lyrical inspiration from famous collaborators.
Some suggest that Swift, bolstered by her recent accomplishments and fame, may have been less willing to share the spotlight with another established superstar, such as Dion.
Furthermore, Swift’s new relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce provides plenty of media fodder, allowing her to continue her history of weaving personal stories into her songs.
While some may question her increased confidence, it’s little surprise she feels unstoppable given her recent series of victories and unwavering fan support.
