🏆 The Grammys
Taylor arrived at this year’s Grammys in a stunning “burning red” dress with a T-initial on her thigh - a possible nod to the lyrics “What if he’s written mine on his upper thigh?” from “Fortnight”, and “I want to wear his initial on a chain” from “Call It What You Want”? While Taylor didn’t take home any Grammys from her six nominations, she was the ultimate hype queen, singing and dancing through the night and celebrating her friends’ wins. Taylor also presented the award for Best Country Performance to Beyoncé. And I don’t know about you, but I was squealing over the fact that she chose to walk out to “So High School”.
Here’s a roundup of every time Taylor was on my tv screen during the Grammys, plus an updated list of Taylor’s Grammy Wins and Nominations.
🏈 The Super Bowl
Taylor was bejeweled at the Super Bowl, cheering on Travis in sparkly silver shorts and a white top. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the Chiefs’ night, as they lost to the Eagles 40-22. I was also sad to see that Taylor got booed when she appeared on the big screen inside the stadium. But I admire her so much for constantly showing up at games to support Travis. Here’s hoping we’ll see her back in the stands for next year’s football season! Here’s a montage of Taylor Swift sightings and highlights from the game.
🖤 Tayvis in New Orleans Tayvis in New Orleans
The night before the Super Bowl, Taylor and Travis were spotted out for dinner in New Orleans. Taylor looked *stunning* in this black dress. While we haven’t seen much of Taylor since the Super Bowl, I’m hoping she might attend the iHeart Awards Ceremony next month, possibly even with Travis?!
💘 The Ultimate Tayvis Playlist
To celebrate Valentine’s Day earlier this month, I updated my Tayvis playlist! This playlist takes you from friendship bracelet beginnings, through “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs”, to "I'll be eighty-seven, you'll be eighty-nine, I'll still look at you like the stars that shine". These are all of the songs I've come to associate with Taylor and Travis' "love story". You can get a full walkthrough of the playlist, plus all links to listen here!
☎️ Selena x Gracie Collab
Selena Gomez and Gracie Abrams just released a song together! So I decided this was the perfect opportunity to explore some more Taylor Swift-adjacent artists. I shared my reaction video on YouTube, and I’d love to hear your thoughts too. And let me know if you’d like to see more reaction videos like this, I have so much fun making them!
