You know whose acceptance speech was really great? SZA. Her emotion felt very real in that moment and she managed to be funny too. I teared up a little when she talked about how far she's come. That's someone who understandably must look around and think "how did I get here."
I also loved at the end when she joked "I'm not really an attractive crier," and then ended the speech, because as a fellow blubberer, I found it very relatable! |
I love Taylor. But I just watched the video, and yes, Taylor was rude to Celine. Bad mistake. |
I was at the Grammys last night . It was a wild stormy night and freaking cold . Hence some of the stars were wearing coats . So much for sunny California ![]() |
They met backstage and talked. Perhaps the show runners were telling her to hurry up as the show did run late. |
I heard Ye or Kanye was there disrespecting Taylor AGAIN. Oh no, that was Jay-z. |
Yeah, I think at the end of the day, she's not a rude person. She's just not. Love her/hate her music, you can never call her rude. So she made a gaffe, it happens. It was a big moment and she screwed up. |
I'm the "big mistake commenter" and I agree with you that Taylor is definitely not a rude person. |
Absolutely love him. |
I mean, judge by her actions. I actually thought she was rude all night. I thought her first speech was rude and weird with the album announcement, and I thought the second one was even worse with the fake shock and her dragging Lana up and ignoring Celine and then her speech was very self-centered and lacking in awareness. I would not previously have said she is a "rude person" but her behavior at the Grammy's was very rude IMO. I would not dismiss it as "a gaffe." Maybe she was drunk or on something, maybe she was just in a weird mood, but I found her behavior quite rude on a night filled with actually a surprising amount of sweetness and kindness, for the music industry. The fast car duet, Miley getting her first Grammy and using the opportunity to praise Mariah, that Joni performance. Taylor and Jay were the sour notes for the evening for me and I think they are both responsible for their tacky, rude behavior. It was especially obnoxious coming from two people who are so successful and have been honored/lauded so many times. |
Yes, I loved her speech! So authentic! |
Nothing she did would have made you happy so whatever. She will be playing her 3 hour shows again starting next week and being the hard worker that she is making people happy. |
^^^^^ This |
I know you want to believe that but the truth is the people are annoyed with Taylor because she didn't rise to the occasion. If she had, she'd be getting heaped with praise for being classy and gracious. Case in point: Miley Cyrus has done some immature, ridiculous things in the public eye, and I think a lot of people (myself included) are primed to roll their eyes at her behavior. She impressed me so much last night. I think Flowers is a great song, I love the story of how it came about, her performance was wonderful. But what really got me is how together she seemed all night, how thoughtful and gracious her acceptances were, just how mature she was. It really feels like she's coming into her own after going through a lot of growing pains. And by the way, she's younger than Taylor and has been in the public eye for longer, so the excuses Taylor gets about "well she didn't have a normal adolescence" or "she's still really young" don't apply here. People will not actually criticize Taylor no matter what. People are responding to her actual behavior. She was very off last night and it deserves to be called out just like it would be if someone else behaved that way. If anything, she's getting some slack because she IS Taylor Swift and people give her a lot of leeway. If a less established artist had behaved as she did (Olivia or SZA, for instance) people would be draaaaaggging them so hard right now. Taylor's getting some deserved blowback. She should take the note and do better next time. |
Sometimes? She always seems like a high schooler to me. Point1- her lyrics. She’s in her 30s not some 16 year old pining for her summer crush Point 2- the girl squad. WTF is that |
Yep and she acts like that at all the games too. Get ready for the Super Bowl. |
