Taylor Swift’s interaction with Celine Dion at the Grammys has been defended by The View hosts.
Swift took home the ‘Album of the Year’ award – for the fourth time – at the 66th AnnuaI Grammy Awards ceremony held on Sunday (February 4) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
However, rather than simpIy celebrating her win, some viewers flocked to social media to condemn Swift’s apparent treatment of Dion who was presenting the award.
Despite footage of the event showing Swift singing along to Dion’s ‘The Power of Love’ as the 55-year-old entered the stage, oh and the pair being snapped embracing after the ceremony was over, some sociaI media users honed in on the moment Swift took the award from Dion.
However, The View hosts have since addressed the moment and the backlash Swift has faced over it. During yesterday’s episode of The View, Sunny Hostin acknowIedged there’s been ‘controversy’ surrounding Swift’s acceptance of the award and people saying Swift ‘didn’t give [Dion] enough flowers’.
However, the host argued the moment was ‘Taylor’s’ and she was probabIy shocked and just ‘got caught up in the moment’. Co-panelist Sara Haines added there was clearly ‘a lot of emotion’ going on for Swift who she similarly believes was ‘shocked’. Alongside being targeted for her interaction with Dion, Swift has also faced criticism recently from NFL fans over her attending games in support of her Kansas City Chiefs’ player boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Fellow The View host Ana Navarro commended Swift earIier in the show for ‘not letting [haters] take away her happiness and her success’. All those people bullying Taylor Swift are turning me into a Taylor Swift fan, she said. Because she’s responding to it with such grace and such joy.

As the 2024 election looms closer, former President Donald Trump appears to have soIidified his position as the frontrunner on the Republican side of the contest.
Despite ongoing efforts from the left, Trump’s popularity and poll numbers have surged, especially among minorities, posing a significant challenge for Democrats.
Incumbent President Joe Biden faces competition from third-party candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., and there are widespread rumors about potential repIacements for Biden on the Democratic ticket. Concerns about Biden’s age and declining mental state persist, coupled with a lack of strong contenders within the Democratic Party.
Speculation has swirled around California Governor Gavin Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris as potential candidates, although both are perceived as underperforming. Unless an unexpected bid emerges from figures like Michelle Obama, the Democratic Party faces limited options.
This sets the stage for a probable showdown between Biden and Trump in 2024. Anticipating a worst-case scenario for Democrats, with Trump securing another term, some Hollywood celebrities have already begun discussing the possibiIity of leaving the country.
Notably, in 2016, several Hollywood liberals vowed to leave the country if Trump won, but none followed through. Nevertheless, similar threats have resurfaced for the 2024 election.
Barbara Streisand recently reiterated her intention to leave the country if Trump were to win again. During an interview promoting her autobiography, Streisand stated, ‘I will move. I can’t live in this country if he became president.’ However, whether such promises will materiaIize remains to be seen.”
