You guys, I might be back in love with Taylor Swift a little bit. Come on, she’s fun! She had a decent night at the Grammys too. She wore this chain-metal Gucci (she said it weighed a ton) which was one of the best red carpet looks of the evening. Her hair (a bouncy ponytail) looked cute and her makeup was flawless. She sang a sad song about Jake Gyllenhaal on stage and it was one of the better performances of the evening. No joke.
Of course there was one controversy/weirdness – when Album of the Year was called, it was “Random Access Memories,” the Daft Punk album. Swifty’s album is “Red”. She thought she won for a second and she got all excited. You can see the reaction shot here.
More fashion… Anna Faris in Fitriani. This dress is so boring, I can barely finish this sentence without falling a-…ZZzzzz….
Bless Ariana Grande. She’s like our Pocket Mariah. She’s so pretty, she’s got a cute little accent and she can’t give an interesting red carpet interview to save her life. Ariana got all dolled up in this Dolce & Gabbana party dress and her party weaves. She kept playing with her weaves too, her hands are always in her hair (like Duchess Kate and her weaves?!). Also: those fugly shoes belong on a bridesmaid.

Taylor looks stunningly gorgeous. Perfection.
I agree. Love the dress and the styling. I’m starting to like her again a little. She seems less annoying lately.
Yeah Swifty is looking all perfection here, but of course we all know why. She wants to make Harry Styles cry.
@elkiddo – “She wants to make Harry Styles cry.”
It must be Taylor’s influence that caused her ‘bestie’ to enjoy that (making her ex cry), too. xD.
One of my favorite dresses of 2014, and I know I will still think that 11 months from now.
Yes…her dress is gorgeous & I love those shoes. I want those shoes.
Yeah. THE. SHOES! me needs those shoes…
LOVE the silver dress; HATE her shoes.
Not crazy about Taylor, but she is a pretty woman.
It’s a pretty dress Taylor is wearing but it washes her out. It looks too blended with her skin tone and hair. She looks better in clothing with color. I think Farris dress was more suited for Taylor. Farris is too short to pull that look off; Taylor has the right height for it.
@v4Real- it’s a great dress and she does look good in it, I just feel like we’ve seen the gold/nude dress on her so many times before.
And while I did apprciate her enthusiastic “dancing” during ID and Kendrick Lamar, still just no.
My thoughts exactly. Nice dress on the rack, but the icy makeup and silver dress color wash her out. And yes, Marty, metallic dresses are her new sparkly glittery wedding dresses.
OMG this dress is perfect! Even Taylor looks good w/o the bangs.
Looks like her hair is darker too which I think is an improvement. Never heard one of her songs but she has a pretty stellar fashion sense (except for the kitten ballet flats).
Totally agree. She looks gorgeous! Love that dress.
That dress perfect for a red carpet, where the fashion should be high end, hard to wear, and inspirationally beautiful.
It’s a great look and so different for her. It’s refreshing.
I loled at the video too
Her makeup looks the best I’ve seen maybe ever. Pink lips looks a lot less harsh on her than the constant high-contrast red. I know people can feel married to their red lips and I appreciate they love their trademark, but it just doesn’t fit in every. single. situation. I appreciate her softer look here and she looks a lot less plastic to me.
I love her styling. She can wear the hell out of clothes….so jealous.
Tay-tay looks good but I’ve seen this outfit (or a close variant of it) on her soooo many times before. Nude / neutral tone? Check. Metallic or sparkly fabric? Check. I wish she’d mix her fashion choices up a bit but hey, she does look good so I can’t fault her here.
True. When I read Best dressed of the Night, I got all excited and clicked on the page only to see that same shade I’ve seen on her a million times. She really likes metallic now – gold, silver and bronze, she’s done it all. Though, I have to say that she looks slightly different in pictures nowadays, like,more grown up or something, I can’t really put my finger on it. But something is definately different about her, for sure. I guess she’s trying to go bold but at her own pace, which I welcome.
I kept saying last night how she looked like an adult, finally. And on a personal note, I have a daughter so Taylors acceptance of pants will always win her a place in my heart.
Is just Taylor’s usual so BORED
Anna stopped fking with her face And THAT is something the Entire nation can be happy about!
Ariana Grande looked like a 12 y.o on her way to a forced Bat Mitzvah and This is why she was about to cry her eyes out
She always looks like she’s going to cry. Did you see her magazine cover? (I don’t remember which one.)
Bwahaha at the Ariana Grande comment! I thought that look was familiar, and you nailed it – I saw dozens of variations of that the year I was 12 at my friends’ bat mitzvahs! We were religious, so we had to wear jackets or sweaters on top, but otherwise the dresses, hairdo, etc. were pretty much exactly like hers. Points to you :).
Ariana’s eyebrows look grey LOL
I thought Taylor looked really pretty last night and I felt kind of bad for her when she lost for Red since her and her team clearly thought she won.. Even though her dancing during everyone’s performances was horrible, she seemed like she was having a great time
I could watch that reaction shot all day. That’s going to be my go-to pick me up from now on.
I want to see the reaction shot of her realizing her album didn’t win. (C’mon- just ad 5 more seconds to the gif, please!)
Here you go. Priceless…

That was priceless.
Yeah I think the people in country music are over Swift. You want to be a crossover artist, we will treat you like one. Hope you win for best pop performance; oh wait, she didn’t win in that category either.
I should not find that funny, yet I do. I’ll chalk it up to Monday morning b-tchy..
That’s the best.
I don’t hate Swifty, but there’s something about how she acts when she wins that makes her seem disingenuous. And when she doesn’t win she never looks happy for anyone who does.
Clapping in a half smile on her always looks forced. And I know no one likes to lose, but when your career is still in an upswing can’t you also be happy for those who deserved to win? It’s not like if she loses this catagory her career is over.
I think people are making something out of nothing here. I don’t think her reaction is because she thought she won – I think it was more of a surprise reaction because she didn’t win.
I think she was surprised that she did win (or so she thought). I feel sorry for her though, she showed an absolutely normal reaction.
Ariana’s eyebrows seem gray
LMBO at Taylor’s false-alarm reaction shot. I can’t stand her, so … Schadenfreude.
I had less hate for Taylor last night. I liked her “scratchy” dress. I didn’t mind her ever-present audience-dancing (because I would be right next to her). Her performance was one of the best…(and it was live! at a music show!). However… the head thing? Seriously? No, thank you. She does that on stage, too. I remember loving swinging my long hair around like that. When I was 12.
I wouldn’t hate on her dancing if I thought she was legit just jamming out. Instead, it looks like shes trying for some attention and in a sense- making the performance about her in any way she can. There were clearly times when NO ONE else was standing or dancing and girl was front row, with a camera in her face. If it happened once or twice at a few shows, I’d understand. But she does it at every awards show and for the whole time.
THANK YOU. She will do anything she can to have the cameras focus on her, as if the entertainment media doesn’t give her enough attention already. She doesn’t have enough respect for other performers to let them have their moment in the sun. And when you are a performer yourself, that is particularly rude.
Notice that attention never gets diverted from her performances to show ten minutes of someone else dancing in their seat. It’s another self-centered and disingenuous behavior, just like her bull reactions to winning all the time. She campaigns for those awards, if not outright buys them. She has no reason to be surprised at winning either.
I loved Taylor’s dress, except for the slightly odd bunching thing that seemed to be going on in the midsection. Overall, a very flattering look. And as someone with a very similar figure to Taylor’s (minus the fake boobs, just my own small natural endowments :), I appreciate that she owns her height on the red carpet.
Why does it look like Swifty’s been tweaking her face? It’s subtle so I could be crazy but there’s something weird in the eye area. Can’t tell if it’s surgical or just a conscious effort not to squint.
I too thought there was something . . . but it’s so subtle I can’t pin it down.
At first I thought it was her lips.
I’ve been thinking the same thing for the past year. I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she finally lost her baby/teenage weight which caused her face to slim out.
When I first saw the pictures, I noticed the shape of her eyes is different. Wondering if she tweaked her eyelids? Some people do it because the skin under their eyebrows sags to a point where it comes down over the eyelid and obstucts vision. I can see the whites of her eyes more now, and it softens her face overall.
People on the web are constantly going on about how Taylor Swift’s “squinty eyes” make her look like a rodent or some such crap. Like it’s her fault she was born with small eyes and hooded lids. It doesn’t surprise me that she’d have eyelid surgery.
Agree. Did something to her eyelids. But they look great. But she had something done there. Not so squinty.
Are people trying to make pantyhose’s have a comeback? Unless you work in an office and are over the age of 50/60 one shouldn’t wear them IMO. I keep seeing either women my age (30ish), some European women, and younger women wear them. Why?!
Ariana-pretty girl but needs to stop with the “I’m scared of my own shadow” faces.
I can’t speak for anybody else, but I consider myself a pretty good dresser, I’m in my early 30’s, and I wear tights or hose to work in the winter. When it’s in the single digits outside, as it’s been regularly here in the East Coast, I’d catch pneumonia without something covering my legs!
I can’t speak for all but I’m a European woman and I have to wear tights to work (office) even though I’m only 25 because it’s a part of a dress code. No tighs and a skirt/dress for a woman is like no tie for a man. I wish I could leave them at home when it’s hot outside and I’m not trying to make them have a comeback but I would be judged very harshly if I didn’t wear them. Doesn’t matter that my clients wear booty shorts and show major cleavage, the sight of my bare calves would apparently be too revealing for their sensitive minds.
Umm my office dresscode mandates hose or tights (no bare legs allowed) so perhaps that’s why people wear them – bc they have to at work???
Why is Ariana wearing pantyhose?
I hate the top of Taylor’s dress. I remember early 2000’s there were these hideous sweaters that had an opaque neck and sleeves but the body of the sweater was a fishnet type thing. Sometimes sequins were involved. This reminds me so much of that.
It would have been perfect if the sheer part was opaque like the rest of the dress and the sleeves were a little more capped.
I loved all the cutaways to Swifty dancing to performances. The girl is a total dork dancer, but she always looks like she’s having fun at award shows.
Ariana is a darling girl, but that dress! The flounciness of it reminds me of Cha Cha’s dress in the movie “Grease”: “They call me Cha Cha because I’m the best dancer at St. Bernadette’s!”.
“With the worst reputation”
LOL, WilkieCollins! I’ve been saying that in
my head all day!
Taylor looked great. LOVE that dress.
I’d really like to see what Ariana looks like with her real hair and about a pound less makeup. She’s very pretty, but her styling is always so Toddlers And Tiaras.
I can’t stand Swifty, but that dress is gorgeous. And I know I’m in the minority, but Ariana’s dress is kind of cute to me.
I like Anna Faris dress, yes it’s a safe dress and a bit boring but with the right jewelry could be stunning!
On the other hand, Tay-Tay’s dress is so MEH, and I absolutely don’t like the top.
The TayTay hate is strong in this site. I think she looked wonderful. I think she should stop with the weight loss though…if she goes beyond this… 🙁 Her eyes? Maybe it’s just the make-up. I’ve noticed she’s changed her eye make-up style of late. Anyway, she looked good.
Ariana gurl… love the dress, she’s cute but that forever-looking-scared face just throws me off. Also, pantyhose??? Well, ok.
Yeah, I’m starting to get a bit concerned for her. I know she’s always been very slim, but in the photos of her that aren’t photoshopped, it’s starting to look kind of worrying. At the very least, I really hope she doesn’t take it any further.
Taylor looked stunning. Absolute perfection.
I thought Araianna Grande looked pretty…I don’t mind the shoes, though I would have preferred a black strappy heel. But whatever, she’s young and dressed appropriately for her age, which these days, makes her an automatic win.
Taylor’s dress is gorgeous, Anna’s dress is simple but pretty. Ariana’s dress is awful!!
Taylor Swift absolutely killed it in that dress. She’s got great style sense. She bugs the hell out of me for some reason but she’s never made a misstep on the red carpet.
Like the dress, can’t stand Taylor. She looks like she’s 30 years old easy. As for her performance..who does she think she is? Tori Amos? Uh, no. Not nearly that sexy and more importantly, not nearly as talented. That GIF is hilarious though.
Taylor looked great! And over all, it seemed like she had lots of fun. As for Ariana, bless her. I’m giving her a pass because I don’t think fashion and posing on the red carpet are her thing.
Ok, enough, I have to ask, it’s been bothering me for a long long time… What on earth is going on with Anna Faris hair ???? That she messed up with her face, tragically, we all noticed that, and it’s been talked about, but her hair ?? What is this thing ?
Like Taylor’s dress. One of the only form-fitting dress that looks like she wasn’t squeezed into it.
I loved Taylor’s dress. She looked great. My only nitpick is her blue eyeshadow — or maybe it was supposed to be silver?
Sorry y’all. TS totally looks like Barbie here.
Just post the same. Did not see your comment.
No worries! She’s slowly been morphing into Barbie for a while now! I’m glad someone else sees it!
Taylor Swift is a real life Barbie. No kidding. (And I don’t know if it’s a compliment)
Oh please. The ONLY good performance was Metallica. So many bands had great albums that came out last year. Coheed and Cambria, Jimmy Eat World, Arcade Fire, Middle Class Rut just to name a few. But do they get recognized? No because they aren’t pop stars who have to rely on huge sets and theatrics to mask their awful singing and their awful songs!
^THIS!!!
Arcade Fire’s latest album was INCREDIBLE!!! It makes me sad that mediocre musicians like Taylor Swift get more awards than they ever will merely because she is more “famous” and sells more records.
Taylor Swift did look really pretty last night though.
Taylor is stunning with that dress. Not do easy to find a woman who can afford a silver dress.
Justin, Miley and Taylor Swift…all seem to be self-destructing (although most don’t seem to realize it yet about Taylor)…my bet for the survivor is Miley.
Let’s see who still standing in 5 years and I would bet its still Taylor.
Love the softer makeup on her… The red lips just look so garish, like WOUNDS in her face. This looks much more elegant and sophisticated. And that dress is GORGEOUS and perfect on her. Not everyone on the red carpet has the body to pull off a cut like that, she should work it!
I really love this dress actually….I thought Taylor looked really nice.
Her performance slayed me. I was never a fan and bought into the hate a bit, even, but f it. Im a fan now. She looked like a goddess and you know what? She CAN sing.
I feel like this is Cindy Loo-Who. Taylor Momsen did not play her, Taylor did.
Lol Those people sitting around Swift in that GIF look as though they were experiencing a car crash.
This is kind of funny:
