Online criticism has been triggered by the Recording Academy’s revelation that a well-known singer will present at the 67th Grammy Awards. Some fans are pledging to boycott the event, while others are thrilled.
On February 2, 2025, the 67th Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+. However, fans have expressed their dissatisfaction after the Recording Academy confirmed Taylor Swift’s involvement in recent social media statements.
Others expressed shock and frustration, with one user asking, “Oh god who did this 
,” and another stating, “We don’t want to see her.” One openly deadpanned, “Unfortunately” while another said, “I’m shocked.”
Despite the backlash, the singer still has strong support from her fanbase. Some users shared their excitement for her appearance, with one Instagram fan writing, “I’m sooooo excited 
,” while another commented, “WE ARE SO READYYYY FOR IT 
.”
There will be a full day of music celebrations at the 67th Grammy Awards. Many early winners will be revealed at the Premiere Ceremony, which kicks off the event at 3:30 PM ET/12:30 PM PT. Live streaming of this segment will be available on YouTube and LIVE.GRAMMY.COM.
The arrivals of nominees and notable figures in the business will then be covered on Grammy Live From The Red Carpet, which airs at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT. YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and LIVE.GRAMMY.COM will all carry the coverage.
The main event will stream on Paramount+ and air on CBS from 8 to 11:30 PM ET/5 to 8:30 PM PT. Additionally, the Recording Academy said that first responders and people affected by the disasters in Los Angeles will be honored during this year’s ceremony.
With six nominations this year, Swift—who is being criticized for her involvement in the event—remains a significant presence at the Grammys. Even if her presence as a presenter has sparked controversy, she is still anticipated to play a significant role in the evening, regardless of whether spectators decide to watch or not.
After going to the first Chiefs game of 2025 to cheer on her boyfriend, a tight end, the pop singer lately received criticism from online fans.
Fans’ comments about Swift’s unusual stride caused a stir on the internet when she arrived at the Texans-Chiefs playoff game on January 18 and was seated next to basketball player Caitlin Clark.
Chanel cuffed boots and semi-sheer black tights added even more flair to the ensemble. She accessorized with silver pendant earrings featuring the Chanel emblem, which went well with her signature red lip and loose hair. As the 35-year-old settled in to enjoy the game, others noticed her stylish appearance. But her unique walking manner was the main topic of fan discussion.
One fan questioned, “Why does she walk like that?” while another added, “Like, why does she not know how to walk?” An individual suggested that the singer “Need some walk practicing. 
.”
Another fan observed her gait, “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 normally [sic].”
A conflicted fan pointed out, “Such a talented beauty, but I never realized that she’s pigeon-toed. Too bad her parents didn’t correct it when she was young.” Her unique walk caught more attention, as another fan mentioned, “…never realized she’s pigeon toed [sic].”
One fan found humor in the situation, noting, “And she walks like she’s pigeon toed [sic] lol.” Her outfit was also a topic of discussion, with one fan commenting, “Weird thing to wear. She looks so tall in those boots.” But not everyone was concerned with her walk, as another fan proudly stated, “Queen is in the house.”
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce’s team, won the game she was at. After defeating the Houston Texans 23–14, the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to the AFC Championship Game for the eighth straight year.
With a spectacular effort that had Swift and Caitlin Clark cheering, Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.
Talking with the pop singer in their shared booth during the game, Clark, a longtime Chiefs fan, was excited to be a part of the moment.
Following the conclusion of her Eras Tour in late 2024, Swift has been spending more time in Kansas City and cheering on her partner at games. Swift threw his sweetheart a surprise party with an Eras theme on December 18, 2024, and the two danced the night away.
Netizens spotted something about one of her fingers in photos from the surprise party, which led to speculative comments.
The elaborately crafted item exuded sophistication and elegance with its sweetheart neckline and silver threading.
Lyndsay Bell celebrated the “Lover” era with a pink ensemble, while Ashley Avignone adorned her appearance with a replica snake around her neck in a lighthearted nod to the “Reputation” album.
Additionally, pictures showed Kelce holding a microphone and giving a moving statement, adding a personal touch to an evening honoring Swift’s enormous accomplishment.
“She straight up has her ring finger blurred. Who else is calling a Travis Taylor secret engagement [sic]??” posted close-up pictures of the celebrity holding her drink after writing to someone on X.
Another responded, “Is it me or does it seem like Taylor is going out of her way to not show her ring finger on right [sic] hand?”
With yet another commenter saying, “I’m 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 [sic] 
,” rumors of a potential engagement grew stronger.
“OK, but does anyone else feel like Taylor’s ring finger was edited in every photo that’s come out from this party 
,” wondered a netizen. Someone else questioned, “Is that a ring on THAT finger??? Is she showing us something???”
“Why does Tay’s ring finger look blurred?? 
,” pondered one user. Another echoed, “Is it me or is Taylor Swift ring finger blurred. [sic] Zoom in the photo it’s blurred. She’s engaged 
?!?”
Others celebrated the relationship between Swift and the football player with heartfelt remarks. “no man has ever loved taylor swift the way travis kelce loves taylor swift [sic],” asserted one admirer, while another implored, “Put a ring on that woman’s hand, Travis! .”
An Instagrammer replied to the comment, “I think it’s already there—zoom in on the right finger. It’s been blurred.”
Swift must be ecstatic with her wildly successful career and a caring partner who threw her a party, especially after her spectacular Eras Tour, which included several gigs that broke records.
During her final “Lover” speech of the tour, Swift reflected on the monumental 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, as captured in a fan video posted on X.
The Eras Tour’s historical significance is highlighted by its numbers. The New York Times reports that the tour sold an incredible $2,077,618,725 worth of tickets, which is twice as much as any previous concert tour’s total ticket sales.
According to Taylor Swift Touring, Swift’s production firm, over 10 million fans attended the performances, with 10,168,008 people in total.
One thing is certain: Swift ended 2024 on a high note, both personally and professionally, as she takes a well-earned holiday and fans continue to conjecture about her future with Kelce. Swift turned 35 in late 2024.
