The Midnights singer Taylor Swift was awarded the Best Album of the Year, for the fourth time making History.

Fans alleged that Taylor did not make eye contact with the Canadian legend. This led to speculations that there was perhaps a snub involving the two.
However, what actually happened is just before Celine made her appearance on stage, the 34-year-old Swift was busy singing Power of Love, one of Dion’s best tracks. As Celine came on stage, everyone was giving her a standing ovation. An overwhelmed Dion said, “Thank you all. I love you right back.” She also added, “When I say that I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart.” The Beauty and the Beast singer signed off saying, “Those who have been blessed enough to be here, at the Grammy Awards, must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to the people all around the world.” But did Taylor really ignore Dion? Sources say it was a mere speculation.
