Taylor Swift ended up being a winner at the Grammys and then to top it off, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce & the Kansas City Chiefs, win the Super Bowl.
Makes for a very special Valentine's Day for both!
Peter, the Taylor Swift PR team became very aware of "Le Snub" on Celine Dion (Queen of Modern Las Vegas Residency) and immediately went into action.
Backstage, "the Swifties" swiftly handled Damage Control and took a picture of Taylor Swift & Celine Dion together.
Once we're talking Grammys, back in 1962, The Kingston Trio's Something Special album was nominated for a Grammy Award in the best the Best Folk Recording category.
A notable feature on this record is that it was highly orchestrated (by Jimmie Haskell), using strings, brass instruments and female vocalists.
Bob Shane referred to Something Special as an extremely good album with a great cover photo by Jay Thompson.
It also includes one of Bob's best solos: "She Was Too Good To Me", written by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart. (Broadway Musical: "Simple Simon")
Okay, so Taylor Swift won her 4th Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Yippy!
I still think any Kingston Trio album in my collection beats the heck out of any Taylor Swift album, but taste is subjective and to each their own. I get that.
What I don't get is Taylor Swift snubbing Quebec's legendary pop star Celine Dion when Celine (who is suffering from a neurological disease affecting her ability to move)
attended the Grammys especially to hand out the Album of the Year to one of the contestants.
Taylor Swift won, ran up to the stage, hugged all her musical collaborators, and snatched the Grammy Award (for her "Midnights" album) from Celine Dion,
without acknowledgement or eye contact. Celine looked puzzled and felt uneasy.
If it had been Stevie Wonder winning Album of the Year, no way Steve would ignore the person handing him a Grammy. He would say "Thank You" and show acknowledgement.

For me, the highlight of this Grammy Awards show was Joni Mitchell singing "Both Sides Now". Class personified!
