Taylor Swift’s Night at the 2025 Grammys: A Celebration of Music, Style, and Love
Although Taylor Swift walked away from the 2025 Grammy Awards without a win despite six nominations, the night was anything but uneventful for the global superstar. From her dazzling red carpet look to her heartfelt gestures and lively celebrations, Swift proved once again why she remains a beloved figure in the music industry.
A Special Nod to Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift made headlines with a subtle yet romantic gesture dedicated to her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. While presenting the award for Best Country Album, Swift walked out to her song “So High School,” a track from her 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.
Fans have long speculated that the song is about Kelce, and Swift seemingly confirmed this in the song’s lyric video, where she highlighted their initials in the lyrics: “Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights / Tell me ’bout the first time you saw me.” Adding to the tribute, Swift accessorized her stunning Vivienne Westwood red corset dress with a custom ruby “T” chain around her upper thigh, a piece she personally collaborated on with designer Lorraine Schwartz. The jewelry, featuring over 60 carats of rubies, was seen as a sweet nod to Kelce, whose football schedule prevented him from attending the ceremony.

Arena, Swift was the life of the party. She danced enthusiastically to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” as he accepted the Song of the Year award and swayed to Billie Eilish’s performance of “Birds of a Feather” alongside Margaret Qualley. She even shared a sweet moment with Alicia Keys’ 10-year-old son, Genesis, as they danced together during Shakira’s performance.
Heartfelt Moments with Fellow Artists
Swift’s graciousness shone throughout the evening. She presented Beyoncé with the award for Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter,” celebrating the historic moment as Beyoncé won her first Album of the Year award after four previous losses.
Swift was seen toasting champagne with Jay-Z and congratulating him on the win, saying, “It was a long time coming!” In another touching moment, Swift offered her seat to actress Cynthia Erivo, who couldn’t find her assigned spot during Trevor Noah’s opening monologue. The two shared a laugh, showcasing Swift’s kind and accommodating nature.
