The 2025 Grammy Awards saw several artists, both new and established, take home trophies. However, Taylor Swift, one of the biggest pop stars, walked away empty-handed.
The Recording Academy nominated Swift six times: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Music Video.
Many expected the 35-year-old singer's album, “The Tortured Poets Department” (TTPD), to win at least one award. When she didn't, fans and critics reacted on social media.
One Twitter user wrote, “a grammys morning after where taylor swift didn't win a single grammy, especially for an album like TTPD is just not right [sic].”
Others felt the outcome was justified. “Honestly, good. TTPD wasn't a Grammy worthy [sic] album and I hope she reflects and goes in a different direction for her next album. I'm so tired of synths and miss drums and actual instruments in her music,” one Reddit user commented.
Another netizen shared a similar sentiment, “No awards for Taylor during a poor album cycle, nature is healing. #GRAMMYs.”
Some defended the results, pointing out Swift's past success. “She's won a ton!! Let others have a chance,” a Facebook user exclaimed.
Others felt the competition was stronger. “I love Taylor, but TTPD was one of her weakest works, and it was a STACKED year. I was happy with every winner,” someone else remarked.
More netizens shared their thoughts on Swift's Grammy loss. One critic expressed satisfaction, saying they had hoped for this outcome. Another took a harsher stance, claiming she never deserved any of her previous awards.
Another speculated that Swift herself did not expect to win, noting that her behavior at the event suggested she was simply there to enjoy the night, which might explain why she was chosen as a presenter.
Some dismissed the significance of the loss, arguing that Swift's success extends far beyond Grammy wins.
At the Grammys, Swift faced tough competition in all six categories she was nominated for but did not secure a win. Kendrick Lamar dominated with “Not Like Us,” taking home the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Music Video, solidifying his presence at the ceremony.
Beyoncé won Album of the Year for “Cowboy Carter,” continuing her Grammy success. In the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars claimed the award for their collaboration, “Die With a Smile.”
Rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter earned Best Pop Vocal Album for “Short n' Sweet,” marking a significant achievement in her career.
While Taylor Swift did not win a Grammy this year, her nominations and the reactions to her loss kept her at the center of discussion. Beyond the awards, netizens also took notice of the acclaimed singer—particularly her stylish ensemble at the event.
As Swift posed for cameras, she dazzled in a shimmering “Chiefs red” sequin micro mini by Vivienne Westwood, designed with a corseted bodice and one-shoulder detail. Her whole outfit also had a delicate yet eye-catching accessory.
The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker completed her bold look with matching Casadei strappy red heels, her signature bangs, and a swipe of classic red lipstick, further cementing her status as a red-carpet style icon. She added even more glamour with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, effortlessly tying the look together.
But a closer look at her outfit had fans talking. Peeking through the slit of her dress, the 35-year-old singer wore a gold thigh chain adorned with ruby heart stones and a glittery red “T” charm. Swift and her stylist, Joseph Cassell, reportedly designed the piece in collaboration with Schwartz.
Netizens quickly flooded social media with reactions to Swift's stunning outfit, with many zeroing in on the playful details and a potential nod to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“That subtle little nod to her man. I'm here for it! 🔥❤️🙌,” one fan wrote, while another chimed in, “She's trying to tell us something. I knew it in my bones.” Another commented, “T for Travis 🔥🔥.”
Others praised her choice, “Stunning and in Chiefs red ❤.” However, not everyone was completely sold on the look, with one user remarking, “I love her, but it’s giving a little ice skater???”
More netizens had mixed reactions to Swift's Grammys look. “Beautiful woman. Awful dress,” one user bluntly commented. Another speculated about the meaning behind her glittering “T” charm, “I think the double entendre is intended. The T could also stand for a broken cross.”
Not everyone was critical, though. “I don't like her, but even I can't denied [sic] that this dress is to die for🔥✨,” one person admitted. Another gushed about her commanding presence, “She looks phenomenally strong and beautiful 😍 😍🔥🔥.”
Whether intentional or not, Swift's look sparked conversation, adding another standout fashion moment to the 2025 ceremony.
Swift is no stranger to making a statement at the Grammys. At the 2024 awards show, she donned a white Schiaparelli gown with a thigh-high slit, black opera gloves, and symbolic accessories, including a custom Lorraine Schwartz choker featuring an Art Deco watch and over 300 carats of diamonds.
She also paid tribute to 1920s silent film star Clara Bow—her “The Tortured Poets Department” track namesake—by layering vintage-inspired necklaces, subtly drawing parallels between their public lives.
