Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> made history by taking home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year<\/a> during the 2024 ceremony, but fans\u00a0 quickly called her out for seemingly ignoring presenter Celine Dion<\/strong> in the process<\/a>.<\/p>\n Taylor, 34, took to the stage with her team \u2013 including producer Jack Antonoff<\/strong> \u2013 and began thanking those who have supported her profusely. Celine, who presented Taylor with the award, meanwhile walked to the side of the stage without acknowledgment from the \u201cLavender Haze\u201d artist. Critics promptly weighed in on X, and had a lot to say about the matter. \u201cYikes. Big faux pas there,\u201d one commenter wrote, while another added, \u201cYou didn\u2019t thank her on stage. RUDE!\u201d<\/p>\n However, Taylor and Celine, 55, posed for a loved-up photo backstage after the award was presented, giving the history-making songwriter a chance to make up for the awkward moment.<\/p>\n Most fans appeared to be appeased by the photo opportunity, with one writing, \u201cI am glad she understood quickly that ignoring the icon that is Celine was a bad move. I like Taylor, but having Celine wait there and ignoring her was not OK.\u201d Yet another fan weighed in writing, \u201cShe was just nervous, she didn\u2019t ignore anyone,\u201d while another even added, \u201cignoring?? what was she supposed to do with celine? ask her to stand with her in front while she accepts her award? gurl be serious.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor\u2019s win was monumental, marking her 14th Grammy Award and second of the evening. Earlier in the night, she accepted the award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and marked the milestone of her 13th Grammy with the announcement of her new album<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOK. This is my 13th grammy. Which is my lucky number, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever told you that,\u201d the songstress said. \u201cI wanna say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I\u2019ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out April 19. It\u2019s called The Tortured Poets Department<\/em><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans were quickly sent into a tailspin over the news, with Taylor\u2019s announcement breaking the internet (her official website even went dark earlier in the evening.)<\/p>\n Though Taylor had huge moments throughout the night, those who came to Celine\u2019s defense were likely thinking of the effort it took her to be present on the evening. The iconic singer has been battling stiff person syndrome since December 2022, and has kept a low profile as her health has warred against her.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I say that I\u2019m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart. 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 ant to people all around the world,\u201d Celine said while on stage. \u201cAnd now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy award that two legends Diana Ross<\/strong> and Sting<\/strong> presented to me 27 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
