Taylor Swift went to the 2023 Grammys because she received four Grammy nominations, including noms for Song Of The Year, Best Country Song and Best Music Video. She won one Grammy, for directing the music video for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)”. I have no idea what Taylor expected from the night, but she appeared to be having a great time, dancing to a lot of the performances and networking with her peers. She seemed unstressed and happy. Perhaps she knows that Midnights will sweep next year’s Grammy nominations.
As for fashion, Taylor decided on a two-piece Roberto Cavalli in “midnight” blue. A great color for her, although the design was a bit meh. She paired the look with big jewels from Lorraine Schwartz, including those massive sapphire-and-diamond earrings and a sapphire ring.
Meanwhile, there was chatter about whether Taylor would run into her ex Harry Styles at the Grammys. I don’t know if they were buddy-buddy, but they were photographed greeting each other and Taylor was seen dancing to Harry’s performance of “As It Was.” An eyewitness said: “She danced the entire song… [she was] the only person dancing in her section.” So… that’s nice, I guess.
This was also a weird moment – Taylor was seen on camera making a face when FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden came on stage as a presenter.

Those earrings are gorgeous. There are enough diamonds and sapphires there to make a necklace. There is something I don’t like about the skirt part of her dress.
They are, but seem too much with that high neckline.
Yup. Taylor should have chosen something smaller as the earrings compete with the her entire ensemble.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
One of my favourite TV moments ever.
Just b/c she made a face after Dr Biden arrived on stage doesn’t mean it was about Dr Biden at all.
Perhaps she had gas. Or her humongous earrings hurt.
When seeing people make faces like this while NOT looking at the presenter I always think of how conscious I would be of my clothes when moving about.
Sitting to standing in a dress under my ribs but long enough for me to step on while doing anything and also keeping those earrings from poking me in the eye would take a lot of concentration from someone like myself
Random: I like your Latin quote.
Not many people reference that.
I thought she looked great but I would have preferred funkier jewelry – those earrings read a little too mature imo. The color of her dress was dynamite.
Those earrings would drag my ears down to my waist! And her hand action and body language (from the back) is like “Hi titch, how you doin’?”
I like the idea of sparkly earrings to bring light to the face, but I think these are too big in proportion to the high neck of the dress. The dress seem very TS – I like color a lot.
I should have scrolled before posting, because I essentially said the very same, above. A long, sparkly linear drop would have been great. The color of the dress is lovely.
Re: the “face”…she was standing up? Would you give a standing ovation to someone you obviously disliked? I’m all for legit drama, but am chalking this up to “Overanalyzed Minutiae in the Internet Age.”
Some on SM speculated that she drank too much and got dizzy when she stood up.
I don’t see her making a face at all. It looks like she’s pulling her lips like after you put on gloss.
Yep she publicly supported Biden. Dr Biden was presenting an award she was nominated for, so it just looks like an “oh shit” moment for her.
I feel like she is so low key and undercover these days that she could have gotten married and had a baby and we’ll find out 5 years from now.
She looks pretty. I love the color!
Once a tw@t, always a tw@t. Period.
Wow. So much vitriol.
Yes. She does have a hard time letting things go, doesn’t she?
I loved her outfit – the color, the makeup, the earrings.
I don’t think she was making a face at Dr. Jill. Maybe her skirt got caught as she was literally giving FLOTUS a standing ovation.
I don’t ever pay attention to brief moments that could be taken out of context. Who knows what the person next to her said? Did she just touch up ber lipstick and was rubbing her lips together? The expression didn’t seem directed at Dr Biden at all imo.
I just watched another clip of Taylor on the red carpet (Where she was telling photographers who were yelling at a publicist to get out of the shot to calm down, she would wait for them to get their photos) and she made this same face for a second. I think she was fixing her lipstick.
It’s obvious that Dr. Biden was wearing the dress that Taylor wanted.
She looks great. I want a closer look at her manicure
JLO wore an almost exact dress last year. I like the color but not the dress. The earrings were beautiful. She seemed to be having a great time or maybe wanted the appearance of having a great time knowing the cameras were on her. Her section seemed to be dead.
Adele, Lizzo and her side seemed like the life of the party.
The applause for Jill was there but was definitely muted. It is what it is. Jill rocked the dress
Ditto!!! Dr. Biden did rock that dress!! I love her clothing choices as she isn’t afraid to be bold.
Why does she insist on keeping those Barbie bangs? Paired with those earrings, she just looks like a rich but dated country star.
I had no idea her and Harry Styles as a couple
For a short time. Quite a while ago. I remember seeing some pap photos. She has a song called “Style” about him.
I like the color of the dress but not the style.
The earrings look like playing cards to me. Sorry.
I hate Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. They’re gaudy and tacky. Her jewelry ignites the 5 year old in our Superstar Barbie faze. When we thought her little nylon outfits were glamorous and sophisticated.
I haven’t seen her other stuff but I don’t like those earrings at all.
I swear I think my late mother-in-law had a friend named Lorraine Schwartz. As I recall she used to always come to visit with something from a specific bakery and then leave the bag there.
I have no idea if she’s “making a face” or if she is making a face *because* of Dr. Biden or if she is fixing her lipstick, is tired, is mad someone almost stepped on her dress, really has to be pee, wants to get out of her dress, put on sweats and eat a cheeseburger, or something else. Maybe she’s gassy. Who knows.
Exactly, who the hell knows. I did the same thing during a meeting last week. I was making a face at a co-worker walking past my desk, and then had to say to the person who had been talking on the conference call that no, I wasn’t making a face at you! Oops.
I would have preferred the dress as a one piece, and smaller earrings, but she looked good. And I was expecting some “face” in the Dr. Biden clip, but she was just…standing? People make too much out of nothing.
I like Taylor’s whole look – that colour and those big earrings suited her.
Whats the shade etc.. of the red lipstick she wears? I like it and she seems to wear it all the time.
I wonder if it is MAC Ruby Woo Retro Matte?
The confirmed reds (most of this intel is years old though, so she definitely could be rocking something different) were indeed Ruby Woo, also Dragon Girl by NARS, and now Pat McGrath makeup in the Midnights era (do I know too much about this? Possibly)
Maybe it’s fillers or Botox, the whole night she had a similar expression
Wow, Dr. Biden just had Mohs surgery! Quick recovery! She always looks awesome!
The outfit would have been better if it had actually appeared to fit; Taylor Swift is no longer anywhere near as thin as she was ten years ago, nor should she be compelled to be in order to have access to a decently tailored outfit, and designers would do well to understand that.
