Feb 5, 2024 7:30 AM UTC Taylor Swift, [TIME’s 2023 Person of the Year](https://time.com/6342806/person-of-the-year-2023-taylor-swift/), made Grammys history on Sunday night, [becoming the first artist to be awarded Album of the Year four times](https://time.com/6660580/taylor-swift-grammys-album-of-the-year/) with her winning album _Midnights_ and [announcing a new album to come in April](https://time.com/6660513/taylor-swift-announces-album-tortured-poets-department-grammys/). But Swift, who is no stranger to having every interaction hyper-scrutinized, also drew criticism from some social media users over an awkward moment on stage, when she appeared to ignore presenter Celine Dion. Dion made a rare, surprise appearance to announce the Album of the Year award at the Grammys ceremony in Los Angeles after largely avoiding the public eye since the Canadian singer revealed in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with [stiff person syndrome](https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/stiff-person-syndrome-sps), a rare neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and spasms. Dion was met with a standing ovation as the audience, including Swift, cheered and sang along to Dion’s famous 1993 cover of "The Power of Love_._" But after Dion, 55, announced Swift, 34, as the winner of the award, a seemingly shocked Swift took to the stage and appeared to ignore the industry icon when she grabbed the gramophone statuette from her hands before proceeding with her acceptance speech that included no mention of Dion. > [](https://twitter.com/RecordingAcad/status/1754394687556001831) The moment quickly sparked controversy online, with viewers reacting to what they saw as a disrespectful snub. > [](https://twitter.com/adamjmoussa/status/1754363772288774335) > [](https://twitter.com/blackboywrites/status/1754362456342986783) Several also drew comparisons between Swift’s interaction with Dion and [Miley Cyrus’ earlier interaction with Mariah Carey](https://www.grammy.com/videos/miley-cyrus-wins-best-pop-solo-performance-flowers-2024-grammys-66th-annual-grammy-awards), who presented Cyrus with her first Grammy, after Cyrus’ hit song “Flowers” was named the Best Pop Solo Performance. Cyrus chatted briefly with Carey off-mic before starting her acceptance speech with: “This M.C. is gonna stand by this M.C. for this, because this is just too iconic.” > [](https://twitter.com/imthattvgirl/status/1754364526357536879) Later in the night, as if to show that there was no bad blood between Swift and Dion, a photo of the two women smiling and embracing each other circulated on social media. > [](https://twitter.com/etnow/status/1754364940767633875) But not everyone was satisfied, with some speculating that the photo was a calculated attempt to quell bubbling criticisms. > [](https://twitter.com/ReignOfApril/status/1754371878066774458) “When I say I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart,” Dion said before presenting Swift with the award. “Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6661792/grammys-taylor-swift-celine-dion-award-disrespect/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6661792/grammys-taylor-swift-celine-dion-award-disrespect/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Dissecting Taylor Swift’s Interaction With Celine Dion at the Grammys","datePublished":"2024-02-05T07:30:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-24T17:04:24.807Z","description":"Some social media users have criticized what they deemed a lack of sufficient respect shown by Swift toward presenter Celine Dion.","url":"https://time.com/6661792/grammys-taylor-swift-celine-dion-award-disrespect/","keywords":["awards","overnight","News Desk","storyladder"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bf4215f6812dbf9/698a4589457a52e431d6880d/Taylor-Swift-Grammys.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Koh Ewe","jobTitle":"Koh Ewe (Koyu) was a reporter for TIME based in Singapore.","url":"https://time.com/author/koh-ewe/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bf4215f6812dbf9/698a4589457a52e431d6880d/Taylor-Swift-Grammys.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"66th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Show","caption":"66th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Show","creditText":"Christopher Polk—Billboard/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/awards/","name":"awards"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6661792/grammys-taylor-swift-celine-dion-award-disrespect/","name":"The Internet Is Dissecting Taylor Swift’s Interaction With Celine Dion at the Grammys"}}]}] ```
