Viewers 'Won't Be Watching' the Grammys Because of This Singer

The Recording Academy's announcement of a famous singer as a presenter at the 67th Grammy Awards has sparked backlash online. While some fans are excited, others are vowing to boycott the event.

The 67th Grammy Awards will take place on February 2, 2025, airing live on CBS and Paramount+. However, recent posts by the Recording Academy on social media confirming Taylor Swift's involvement have led to an outpouring of frustration from viewers.

On January 30, 2025, the Recording Academy revealed that the singer will be presenting during the show. Almost immediately, social media users reacted with disapproval, many expressing that they were tired of seeing her.

One Facebook user wrote, "Another show I won't be watching. I get more than enough of her watching football." Similar criticism appeared on X, with one person stating, "Taylor Swift needs to be stopped," while another simply wrote, "I am outraged."

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 😍😍😍."

The 67th Grammy Awards will feature a full day of music celebrations. The event begins with the Premiere Ceremony at 3:30 PM ET / 12:30 PM PT, where many early winners will be announced. This portion will be streamed live on LIVE.GRAMMY.COM and YouTube.

Following that, Grammy Live From The Red Carpet will air at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT, covering the arrivals of nominees and industry icons. The coverage will be available on LIVE.GRAMMY.COM, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube.

The main event will air from 8 to 11:30 PM ET / 5 to 8:30 PM PT on CBS, with streaming available on Paramount+. The Recording Academy has also shared that this year's show will honor first responders and those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.

Swift, who is facing criticism over her role in the event, remains a major presence at the Grammys, with six nominations this year. While her appearance as a presenter has fueled debate, she is still expected to be a major part of the night—whether viewers choose to tune in or not.

The pop star recently faced backlash from internet users after attending the first Chiefs' game of 2025 to support her boyfriend, who plays as a tight end.

Swift's arrival at the Texans-Chiefs Playoff Game on January 18, where she was seated alongside basketball star Caitlin Clark, sparked a wave of reactions online as fans commented on her unique walk.

Swift made a stylish entrance at the Texans-Chiefs Playoff Game, donning an oversized Chanel black-and-white tweed coat layered over the brand's wool jersey jumpsuit. She completed the look with a silver Chanel belt featuring a logo-shaped buckle, a black quilted Chanel mini flap purse slung over her shoulder, and black leather gloves.

The ensemble was elevated further with Chanel cuffed boots paired with semi-sheer black tights. Her accessories included silver Chanel logo pendant earrings, perfectly complementing her iconic red lip and loose hair. The 35-year-old's chic look turned heads as she settled in to enjoy the game. However, much of the fan chatter centered around her distinctive walking style.

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 normal [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."

The game Taylor Swift attended ended in favor of her boyfriend, Travis Kelce's team. The Kansas City Chiefs rolled to a 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans, securing a spot in the AFC Championship Game for the seventh consecutive season.

Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown, delivering a standout performance that had Swift and Caitlin Clark cheering.

Clark, a longtime Chiefs fan, was thrilled to share the moment with the pop star as they engaged in a conversation in their shared booth as the game went on.

Swift has been spending more time in Kansas City and supporting her boyfriend more during matches after wrapping up her Eras Tour in late 2024. On December 18, 2024, Swift and Kelce danced the night away at an Eras-themed surprise party that the tight end planned for his beloved.

Photos from the surprise party prompted speculative comments from netizens who noticed something about one of her fingers.

Reportedly, the star-studded celebration marked the end of the musical star's incredibly successful and record-breaking $2 billion Eras Tour. Their party was a spectacle of glitz and style, with Swift commanding attention in a black Balmain halterneck minidress priced at approximately $3,991.07 (£3,190).

The intricately designed piece featured metallic threading and a sweetheart neckline, exuding elegance and sophistication.

Silver sequins and crystals traced a line down the center, and the dress's flared skirt and stretch-knit fabric added a playful yet refined touch. Swift paired her ensemble with long diamond earrings, delicate diamond rings, and a pink beaded friendship bracelet — a signature accessory from her Eras Tour.

Her iconic red lipstick, cat-eye makeup, and chic ponytail completed the look. The event's dress code embraced the spirit of the Eras Tour, with guests showcasing outfits inspired by the "Bad Blood" singer's musical journey.

Kelce wore a version of the iconic "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" costume he debuted onstage during Swift's London Eras Tour show in June 2024. The sleek black suit with tails evoked a timeless elegance, punctuated by details that tied perfectly into the evening's celebratory theme.

Swift's gal pal Brittany Mahomes, glowing in her pregnancy, donned a silver fringe minidress paired with bedazzled cowboy boots, a clear nod to the singer's "Fearless" era. Meanwhile, her footballer husband Patrick Mahomes mirrored Kelce's ensemble.

In a playful homage to the "Reputation" album, Ashley Avignone accessorized her look with a replica reptile draped around her neck, while Lyndsay Bell embraced the "Lover" era with a pink outfit.

Kelce's doting mom Donna Kelce joined in on the fun, too. She dazzled in a sparkly maroon top and pants as she set the dancefloor ablaze alongside fellow revelers.

The venue itself reflected the evening's theme, with details such as a large illuminated "ERA" sign, friendship bracelets, and lit-up accessories scattered across tables. Additionally, guests indulged in a curated themed drink menu.

Photos also showed Kelce with a microphone in his hand, making a heartfelt speech, which added a personal touch to an evening that celebrated Swift's monumental success.

Fans were quick to dissect the snapshots from Swift's surprise party, sparking a frenzy of speculation online. Many zeroed in on one particular detail — her ring finger.

"she straight up has her ring finger blurred who else is calling a Travis Taylor secret engagement [sic]??" penned someone on X, who shared close-up photos of the star holding her drink.

Another added, "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?"

Theories about a possible engagement continued to gain momentum, with yet another observer commenting, "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] 🥰."

"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."

With a loving boyfriend who threw her a party and an incredibly successful career, Swift must be on cloud nine, especially after her triumphant Eras Tour, which featured a series of record-breaking shows.

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 numbers behind the Eras Tour underline its historic significance. According to The New York Times, the tour sold a staggering $2,077,618,725 in tickets — a feat that represents double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.

Swift's production company, Taylor Swift Touring, also reported that over 10 million fans attended the shows, with the final tally reaching 10,168,008 concertgoers.

As Swift, who turned 35 in late 2024, takes a well-deserved break and fans continue to speculate about her future with Kelce, one thing is certain: The pop icon concluded 2024 on a high note, both personally and professionally.
