The announcement by the Recording Academy that Taylor Swift will present at the 67th Grammy Awards has stirred up a lot of emotions online. While some fans are eagerly anticipating the event, others are planning to boycott it.
The 67th Grammy Awards will take place on February 2, 2025, airing live on CBS and Paramount+. The announcement was made on January 30, 2025, when the Recording Academy confirmed that Taylor Swift would be one of the presenters during the ceremony.
Almost immediately, social media exploded with frustration. Many fans expressed their dislike of seeing Swift so often in the spotlight. One Facebook user vented, “Another show I won’t be watching. I get more than enough of her watching football.”
Ahead of the 2025 #GRAMMYs on Feb. 2, the #RecordingAcademy has chosen the 2025 recipients of its Harry Belafonte Best Song For Social Change Award, Music Educator Award presented with the @GRAMMYMuseum, and Entertainment Law Initiative Writing Contest scholarships.

The criticism was not only on Facebook, but also on X (formerly Twitter), where one user stated, “Taylor Swift needs to be stopped,” and another simply posted, “I am outraged.”
Many fans were shocked, too. One Twitter user asked, “Oh god who did this 😞,” while another bluntly said, “We don’t want to see her.” Others took a more sarcastic tone, with one commenting, “Unfortunately” and another exclaiming, “I’m shocked.”
Three days until the music community unites for the 67th #GRAMMYs. ❤️

However, despite this backlash, Swift still has a massive fanbase supporting her. Many fans expressed excitement about her appearance. One Instagram user wrote, “I’m sooooo excited 😭,” while another commented, “WE ARE SO READYYYY FOR IT 😍😍😍.”
The Grammy Awards will feature an exciting day of celebrations. The Premiere Ceremony starts at 3:30 PM ET / 12:30 PM PT, where many early winners will be revealed. It will be streamed live on LIVE.GRAMMY.COM and YouTube.
Then, at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT, Grammy Live From The Red Carpet will cover the arrival of nominees and famous personalities. Fans can catch the coverage on LIVE.GRAMMY.COM, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube.
The main event, airing from 8 to 11:30 PM ET / 5 to 8:30 PM PT on CBS, will be available for streaming on Paramount+. This year, the Grammys will honor first responders and those affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
Even though Taylor Swift’s involvement in the event has sparked debate, it seems clear she will still play a major role in the night, whether viewers tune in or not. Swift has six nominations this year, which keeps her firmly in the spotlight.
Just weeks ago, Swift also made headlines after attending the first Chiefs’ game of 2025 to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who plays as a tight end. Her appearance at the Texans-Chiefs Playoff Game on January 18 caused quite a stir on the internet.
Fans were quick to comment on her unique walk. Some wondered, “Why does she walk like that?” and others questioned, “Why does she not know how to walk?” One person even joked, “She needs some walk practicing. 😢.”
Another fan observed, “Her left leg/foot always looks odd. She does not have a model’s walk. We used to call it pigeon-toed. You think she’d try to walk normal [sic].”
There were a few fans who couldn’t help but laugh, with one writing, “And she walks like she’s pigeon toed [sic] lol.” But not all the comments were negative. One fan proudly declared, “Queen is in the house.”
Swift certainly looked stylish at the game. She wore an oversized black-and-white tweed Chanel coat over a wool jersey jumpsuit from the same brand.
She accessorized with a silver Chanel belt featuring a logo-shaped buckle, a black quilted Chanel mini flap purse, black leather gloves, and Chanel cuffed boots.
Her look was completed with silver Chanel pendant earrings, a classic red lip, and loose hair, making her presence impossible to ignore.
Her outfit sparked more conversation, with one fan commenting, “Weird thing to wear. She looks so tall in those boots.” But despite the mixed reactions to her walk, she remained supportive of her boyfriend.
The Kansas City Chiefs won the game 23-14 against the Houston Texans, securing their spot in the AFC Championship Game for the seventh straight year.
Travis Kelce had a standout performance, catching seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown, and Swift was there cheering him on with basketball star Caitlin Clark.
Swift has spent more time in Kansas City since wrapping up her Eras Tour in late 2024. On December 18, 2024, Swift and Kelce celebrated with a surprise party thrown by Kelce himself, marking the end of her record-breaking $2 billion Eras Tour.
Swift looked stunning at the party, wearing a black Balmain halterneck minidress priced at nearly $4,000. The dress featured metallic threading, a sweetheart neckline, silver sequins, and a playful flared skirt.
She paired it with diamond earrings, rings, and a pink beaded friendship bracelet — a keepsake from her tour. Swift’s red lipstick, cat-eye makeup, and chic ponytail completed her glamorous look.
The party was a spectacle of glamour and celebration, and guests were encouraged to dress in outfits inspired by Swift’s musical journey. The night was filled with excitement and speculation, especially when fans noticed a ring on Swift’s finger, sparking more rumors about her relationship with Kelce.
Despite the mixed feelings and controversies swirling around Swift, one thing is clear: she’s an unstoppable force in the world of entertainment.
Whether it’s supporting her boyfriend at games or lighting up the Grammy stage, Swift continues to make headlines and capture the attention of fans and critics alike.
Travis Kelce was looking sharp at the surprise party he threw for Taylor Swift. He wore the same sleek black suit with tails that he debuted onstage during Swift’s London show in June 2024.
The suit had an elegant, timeless look that fit perfectly with the party’s celebratory mood. But it wasn’t just Kelce who made a statement with their outfit.
Brittany Mahomes, Swift’s close friend and glowing in her pregnancy, wore a stunning silver fringe minidress, paired with sparkling cowboy boots. It was a clear tribute to Swift’s “Fearless” era, full of country roots and youthful energy.
Patrick Mahomes, her husband and a star football player himself, mirrored Kelce’s style by wearing a similar sharp suit, showing their support for the event.
Ashley Avignone joined in the fun by paying homage to Swift’s “Reputation” album. She wore a replica of a reptile around her neck, a playful nod to the album’s edgy, bold theme. Lyndsay Bell embraced the romantic vibe of Swift’s “Lover” era with a beautiful pink outfit that perfectly matched the party’s theme of love and joy.
And then there was Donna Kelce, Travis’ mom, who was a star on the dance floor. She wore a sparkly maroon top and pants, and she lit up the room with her energy as she danced with the guests.
The venue was decorated in a way that matched the evening’s joyful vibe, with large illuminated “ERA” signs, tables filled with friendship bracelets, and accessories glowing in the dark. Guests were treated to a curated drink menu, inspired by the different phases of Swift’s musical career.
The night was more than just a party—it was a celebration of Taylor’s monumental success. Kelce, always the thoughtful boyfriend, took a moment to make a heartfelt speech with a microphone in hand.
His words added a personal and emotional touch to the evening, making it even more memorable for everyone there.
But the night didn’t just spark excitement because of the party; fans were buzzing with speculation after seeing photos from the event. In particular, they were curious about a certain detail—Taylor Swift’s ring finger.
One person on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out, “She straight up has her ring finger blurred, who else is calling a Travis-Taylor secret engagement [sic]??” They shared a close-up photo of Swift holding her drink, where the ring finger seemed to be purposefully obscured.
Another fan added, “Is it me, or does it seem like Taylor is going out of her way to not show her ring finger on her right hand?” The theories kept coming, and the excitement grew.
One fan even commented, “Pretty sure Taylor Swift is engaged 💍 so happy for her! Travis seems to really adore her & respect her career. The queen of romance songs deserves a happily ever after 🥰.”
The speculation only intensified as more photos were shared. “OK, but does anyone else feel like Taylor’s ring finger was edited in every photo that’s come out from this party? 🤨👀,” one user asked.
Another questioned, “Is that a ring on THAT finger??? Is she showing us something???” One user was clearly intrigued, saying, “Why does Tay’s ring finger look blurred?? 😳 🤔,” while another commented, “Is it me or is Taylor Swift’s ring finger blurred?
Zoom in on the photo, it’s blurred. She’s engaged 💍🤍?!?”
Fans couldn’t help but gush over the couple’s relationship. “No man has ever loved Taylor Swift the way Travis Kelce loves Taylor Swift [sic],” one admirer declared. Another fan urged, “Put a ring on that woman’s hand, Travis! 💍.”
One Instagram user replied to the comment, “I think it’s already there—zoom in on the right finger. It’s been blurred.”
No matter what, one thing was clear—Swift and Kelce share a special bond. With a loving boyfriend who threw her a surprise party and a career filled with record-breaking success, Swift had every reason to feel on top of the world.
Her Eras Tour, which wrapped up in late 2024, was nothing short of a triumph.
During her final “Lover” speech on the tour, she reflected on the incredible journey. “We have toured the entire world… we have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life,” she shared in a video posted by a fan on X.
The numbers behind the Eras Tour were jaw-dropping. According to The New York Times, the tour made over $2 billion in ticket sales—double the gross sales of any other concert tour in history.
Taylor Swift Touring, her production company, reported that more than 10 million fans attended her shows, with the final total reaching 10,168,008 concertgoers.
Swift, who turned 35 in late 2024, took a well-deserved break after the tour, but fans continue to speculate about what’s next for her. With a successful career and a blossoming relationship with Travis Kelce, it’s clear that 2024 was a monumental year for Taylor Swift.
As she wrapped up an unforgettable tour and celebrated her personal life with loved ones, fans can only wonder what exciting chapters will come next for the pop icon. One thing is for sure: Taylor Swift is on cloud nine.
