Celine at the 66th Grammys, presenting album of the year award

[Nmj]

It looks like another dry bit is here… lol it’s soon I know.

 

Does anyone find it odd how her appearances since SPS are close and then she disappears again?

[idroveallnight]

Wouldn’t Amazon Prime be the ones in charge of the release date since it’s on their platform?

 

yes and my guess would be Amazon would want to maximize sales of this thing or new memberships. Strike while the iron is hot. After Tay’s bf won Super Bowl yesterday the Celine snub is irrelevant.

What if Taylor wasn't happy with Celine because she didn't say the grammy went to "Midnights" by Taylor Swift, but only said her name instead?

 

Celine probably couldn’t read the damn thing bc there’s so much text on it. I’m certain she was informed TS was the winner way beforehand and that’s probably how they pitched it to her: “You’re going to present the biggest award of the night to the current biggest artist in music. We want it to be a ‘passing of the baton’ moment since you are an icon. It will be a win-win for both of you. You’ll be giving your seal of approval to Taylor and she will do the same in exchange.” …except the little you-know-what didn’t.

I'm thinking it could be somewhere between very tipsy and anti-what-Miley-Cyrus-did... MCyrus was very gracious and effusive focusing her win on Mariah instead of the herself; maybe TS in her tipsy egomaniac haze was thinking, when it's her turn, her win wouldn't be about the presenter and be about her achievement and, unfortunately, overdid it. The snub was so intentional it was so odd.

 

Did a quick google a while ago if shows like the Grammys paid presenters. Results said very basic $. If that were the case with Céline, I'd be pissed off spending so much for travel, the fashion ensemble, the stylists/MUA/publicists/security/insurance fees, etc for a 5-min appearance that only ended with such disrespect. I wonder if TS's PR team was at least profusely apologetic while they were trying to arrange for the pic, or continued to pretend CD wasn't slighted. If the latter, sheesh, Céline has the patience of a saint. #WWRD lol

If anything, it just highlighted how much respect there is for Celine out there- I just still feel bad for her, that Taylor never acknowledged her, not even, ‘Celine, thank you so much’- she never even looked at her, and babbled about Lana Del Rey BEING A LEGACY ARTIST. When the biggest selling female singer is standing there…

 

Ok. Stephen, get over it, I know.

[blueangel92]

dunno why, but suddenly I re-watch this video:

 

and (to mock the incident of her not thanking Celine) Taylor did acknowledged Celine as "one of her idols" back then in 2017 =)). "Kinda lazy to repeat myself, yass!"

I still can’t get over it. There’s an indefinite TS ban in my home. Didn’t even watch Super Bowl.

I’d like to think that it just so happens that the events she wants to attend are scheduled that way, and that she’s in great shape even when we don’t see her for months.

At some point we’ve got to reach a TS saturation point, no? I mean, she’s everywhere. Sooner or later people will start getting annoyed with the overexposure.

Some of my colleagues were in the room on Grammy Sunday and apparently her album announcement went over like a lead balloon. The audience was made up of industry folks, not her fans, so the sentiment was “girl, you’re everywhere and winning everything, you don’t need to hijack an award show for more promo”.

I’m not over it! unless she writes an apologetic song about how a brat she was to Celine and how Celine is the Queen of all queens, I’m not listening to Taylor Swift anymore. I mean I never did but now I’ll change radio station when she comes on lol.

In my little, petty way of protest... I've blocked her on my Spotify!

dunno why, but suddenly I re-watch this video:

 

Strange how she has an American southern accent there when she's from Pennsylvania. I guess she's always been phony.

It was written on the screen 📺 kkk

That’s actually a Pennsylvania accent for sure.

Well TS is also getting a lot of flak for not saying anything about Toby Keith, who died of cancer last week. As I understand it he basically discovered her, signed her, developed her as a teenage singer-songwriter.

I know there have been complaints on here in the past about Céline’s social feed being an obituary feed at times, but at least she takes the time to acknowledge the people who helped her along the way.

You don’t get to TS/ Céline levels of success on your own, and if you truly don’t recognize that others have paved the way for you and let you stand on their shoulders, well that says a lot about a person.

I think not acknowledging a man who was such a violent bigot like Keith was is actually a valid thing on her part. Especially considering her close relationship with The (Dixie) Chicks whom Keith essentially tried to destroy.

That’s very fair, I’m not aware of the backstory.

He said a lot of very racist and questionable things about Middle Eastern people post 9/11, made and sold T-shirts with fake images of The Chicks lead singer with Saddam Hussain after she criticised Bush in Iraq, and sang a song about lynching black people and how the police need to be the same today and put more “gangsters in the ground”. A horrible human being all around, so I don’t fault Swift for not saying a word about him.

Yeah Toby Keith isn’t a good guy. Probably the best thing he ever did was “discover” Taylor. She would hurt a lot of her fanbase if she had made fawning comment over his death.

 

Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue has to be one of the worst songs in history appealing to the lowest common denominator.

[Zofia]

I am completely unfamiliar with the background, so my question is general rather than specific: and it is not possible after the death of such a person to say "I owe a lot to him, but I completely do not identify with his later views"? Wouldn't that be both more honest and more pedagogically effective than remaining silent? Mean asses and their nightmarish views will not disappear from the fact that we pretend they do not exist...

I mean it’s a lot more tricky considering Toby Keith was already a total #ss hat before he even helped get Taylor signed

He probably got pissed that he discovered her and then she named a song “Tim McGraw”

Not in my experience. And I've studied the subject of regional accents.

My dad lives in PA, and all the women he has dated sound just like Taylor. Some accents a tad thicker, but the pronunciation is all the same. It also floods into South Jersey just outside of Philly.

Apparently Killer Mike (who was arrested on Grammy Sunday after winning his Grammys), was on The Daily Show last night and Taylor snubgate came up: https://www.newsweek.com/taylor-swift-celine-dion-killer-mike-grammy-awards-1869776

[pat200]

Is there a high quality video of her being announced and coming on stage and presenting the award? all in one video haha

[PuraVida]

What'd I miss?

TS is just stupid. Celine should snob her too. She was too generous by posing with her afterwards. She shouldn’t have
