A movie buff, she loves watching trailers and historical moments on television. The next James Bond or Barack Obama’s inauguration speech gives him the same chills.
The 66th edition of the Grammy Awards ended on the night of Sunday February 4, 2024. Among the highlights of this evening: the coronation of Taylor Swift in the presence of a living legend: Céline Dion!
The 55-year-old singer made a rare appearance on stage, while she is fighting against illness, but was not sufficiently acclaimed by the young winner according to some who accuse her of having been disrespectful…
At the 2024 Grammy Awards which took place this Sunday, February 4, 2024 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Taylor Swift was crowned by winning the album of the year award for the fourth time for her album Midnights, considered to be the crowning glory of this ceremony for the glory of music.
A prestigious award given to him by a living legend: Céline Dion. She made a very notable appearance on stage, fighting against the rare and incurable disease that is stiff person syndrome.
In December 2022, Celine Dion made the shocking revelation of her illness to explain why she had to postpone the series of concerts that was planned around the world.
Victim of a neurological disease, she has since limited her public appearances to devote herself to her health alongside her three children, René-Charles and the twins Eddy and Nelson.
If fans were reassured when they saw her looking good last November behind the scenes of a hockey game, they are now over the moon since she appeared on the Grammys stage. Dignified and sublime in her long dress topped with an ocher coat, she received a standing ovation from the audience.
Escorted by her eldest son with whom complicated relations have improved a lot – except for his little brothers who find him too authoritarian with them – Céline Dion declared: “When I say that I am happy to be there, I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Those who were lucky enough to be at the Grammys should not take for granted the enormous love and joy that music brings to the lives of people around the world.” A powerful message from the diva which will be the subject of a documentary on Prime Video, I am: Céline Dion, to raise awareness of the pathology she faces. Celine Dion then presented the album of the year award to Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift disrespectful with Celine Dion?
However, criticism was quick to rain down on the reaction of the 34-year-old singer from Pennsylvania. Internet users criticized him for having snubbed the immense Céline Dion by coming to collect her Grammy.
Taylor Swift’s supporters responded by relaying photos of Taylor Swift giving a nice hug backstage with Celine Dion, showing their complicity in broad daylight.
It must be said that the singer of the hit Anti-Hero must have felt a whirlwind of emotion during the evening. With the honor attributed to her album Midnights, the American singer enters the pantheon of the ceremony as the artist most awarded for her albums, ahead of Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.
“I would like to tell you that this is the best moment of my life, but I also feel happy when I finish a song,” reacted the queen of pop. “Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do what I love so much! I’m blown away!”
2 awards for Taylor Swift at the Grammy Awards
Also awarded the prize for best pop album, Taylor Swift took advantage of the evening to carry out a big marketing coup by announcing the release of a new opus on April 19, entitled The Tortured Poets Department.
She was nominated in six categories at this year’s Grammy Awards, including Best Song, a coveted award that recognizes performers who write their own lyrics. She had already won the supreme prize, that of album of the year, three times with her opuses Fearless, 1989 and Folklore.
