[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to join the Taylor what the heck were you doing train but why in the world did she bring Lana up?! Lana had just lost the aoty and looked so disappointed. Lana didn't even say anything. I felt awful for her [/quote]
Same here. Taylor appeared to literally drag Lana up on to the stage, where she attempted to hide until Taylor insisted that she come out. Very awkward, poorly handled moment.[/quote]

Did she actually do that? Why?! Lana is so talented and has a very loyal fan base and so much respect. I think it's rude and condescending if it happened the way described here. She needs no hyping.[/quote]

They came together and sat together and Lana was featured on Midnights, so it is not totally random. [/quote]

It did not look like Lana wanted to go up, at all, and did so only because Taylor was just in her own world in that moment and Lana didn't want to make a scene.

It also winds up being super rude to the other nominees, going out of her way to tout Lana but say nothing about any of them. Especially in a year where the the list was almost entirely female artists. I love Lana del Rey and actually much preferred her album to Taylor's this year. But to single Lana out in that way, even if she is on one track on Midnights, and say nothing about Janelle, Phoebe, SZA, Miley? And of course she said nothing about Olivia, they have beef.

Her whole speech came off as incredibly self-involved and obnoxious. "I'd love to tell you this is the happiest moment of my life"? No one expects you to say that because you've won this exact award three times before.

And the "shocked face" when she wins? She is not some 19 year old ingenue anymore. It is getting SO old.

I saw some annoyed faces in the crowd as she was getting into her antics going on stage. People are sick of her. Just absolutely over it. And I'm sorry, she may have some good songs, but she also produces a lot of drivel and her body of work is simply not good enough from an artistic perspective for people to ignore this stuff.

They played Karma when she won the award, which is NOT the best song on Midnights and kind of highlighted for me how weak the album is. They should have played Anti Hero but I think it would have felt a little to on the nose.[/quote]

I think anti-hero was one of my least favorite songs on that album.

She had everyone with writing credits from the album up there, including Lana. I do agree that Lana didn’t want to go up there though I don’t think Taylor meant anything bad by it. She was just losing her mind. I’m sure she’s not happy with how it went for a few reasons but what can you do?

I think many of these people are socially awkward. They are artists. [/quote]

WHY is she losing her mind though? This is her 14th win. She's been nominated over 50 times. She is coming off a hugely successful year. Why is she acting so overwhelmed in that moment.

It's not socially awkward. It's a put on. And it's not even convincing. I don't believe for one moment that she felt so overwhelmed in that moment that she couldn't have hit some prepared talking points (like mentioning the other nominees, acknowledging Celine). I mean, she knew she was going to announce the new album when she won for best Pop Vocal, the whole thing was orchestrated in advance. Well so is the starry-eyed "who, me?!" act. It's a put-on she does to try and make herself more relatable to fans. The sad thing is that it still works![/quote]

It wasn't "just" her 14th Grammy. First, it was for album of the year. That's the one they all want. Why do you think Jay Z is up there all butt hurt, griping about Beyonce never winning one? Second, she's the first artist ever to win it 4 times. It was a big deal, however you slice it. [/quote]

It's a big deal. It is NOT, however, a big surprise.

She should be rising to these moments. She is not. I feel weird saying this about Taylor Swift but: she needs media training. She's winging it, and I think she's doing what has worked in the past and what she thinks her fans want. But at this stage in her career, if she doesn't make a shift towards owning her success and power a bit more, people are going to turn on her real fast (it's already happening). If she's 40 years old, making fake shocked faces and being awkwardly rude to people at awards shows, it is not going to fly.

Act like you've been there, Taylor. You are too old and established for this schtick.[/quote]

Agreed. She's extremely immature for her age and how long she's been in the business. [/quote]

It's going to be funny when she starts getting lifetime achievement awards and is still making shocked faces and being like "oh my gosh, me?" in her speeches.[/quote]
