Taylor Swift has shut down claims she “snubbed” Céline Dion at the 2024 Grammys.
The 55-year-old received a standing ovation as she made a surprise appearance at the ceremony on Sunday night, amid her ongoing battle with stiff person syndrome.
The legendary singer was there to present the final award for Album of the Year to Taylor Swift.
The songstress scooped the award for her 10th studio album Midnights, and made history as the first person to win the category four times.
But as Taylor made her way on stage, fans couldn’t help but notice how she barely acknowledged Céline.
Viewers were quick to call Taylor out for “snubbing” such an icon.

However, there appeared to be no bad blood between them as they posed for a sweet snap backstage together afterwards.
