Taylor Swift slammed for ‘blanking’ Celine Dion on stage at Grammys

It's very much a case of things not being quite as they first seem.

Some Grammys viewers have taken to social media in rage over Taylor Swift and Céline Dion's interaction at the awards ceremony.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards took place last night (4 February) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and Céline Dion made a surprise appearance to present the 'Album of the Year' award.

Alas, some negative Nancys couldn't help but hone in on the moment Taylor Swift accepted her award and her apparent treatment of Dion.

Oh, and they must've missed out on the pair's post-Grammy's interaction too. Catch the supposedly scandalous moment here:

Dion took to the stage to present the award for 'Album of the Year' - one she won herself 27 years ago for her 1996 release Falling into You.

The 55-year-old revealed the winner - for the fourth year in a row - to be Swift for her album, Midnights.

In a clip from the awards, Swift can be seen reacting in shock to her name being read out, simply repeating,'Oh my god' several times as she gets up from her seat and begins to make her way towards the stage.

Swift eventually gets up on stage and embraces several people before taking the trophy from Dion's hands without really looking at her and then facing out towards the audience to give her acceptance speech.

And it hasn't taken long for viewers to flock to X - formerly known as Twitter - less than happy with Swift's apparent behaviour.

One X user said: "And @taylorswift13 doesn’t even acknowledge it! I’m floored! Sigh."

"Taylor swift was so rude to not even ackinowledge such a great icon as Celine Dion!" Another added.

A third commented: "Great to see Céline Dion make an appearance despite suffering from a debilitating disease and she is completely ignored by Taylor Swift who lacked respect and just grabbed the award from her hands without even thanking or even looking at her. I like Taylor but that was classless!"

Ah, if only viewers had fully paid attention to the rest of Dion and Swift's interactions.

If only viewers had focused on the other interactions between the pair too.

If they had, then they would've seen Swift caught on camera passionately singing along to 'The Power of Love' as Dion first came onto the stage.

Not only that, but the duo were also spotted hugging backstage after the ceremony ended.

And if you'd just won a life-changing award and were in complete shock, how would you behave?

Either way, there's clearly no issues or hard feelings. Swifties, do your thing.
