Taylor Swift Was ‘Stealing the Spotlight’ With Her Dancing During Sabrina Carpenter’s Performance at 2025 Grammys
The 2025 Grammy Awards were filled with unforgettable performances and dazzling fashion, but one unexpected moment quickly became the talk of the night—and it wasn’t even part of the official show. Taylor Swift, 35, found herself in the spotlight yet again, but this time, it was during fellow pop star Sabrina Carpenter’s performance. Fans couldn’t help but notice Swift’s enthusiastic dancing in the audience, and it sparked a flurry of reactions online.
As Sabrina Carpenter took to the stage to perform her latest hit, cameras caught Swift dancing with unfiltered joy, completely immersed in the music. Wearing her eye-catching “Chiefs Red” mini-dress—a subtle nod to her rumored relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce—Swift swayed, sang along, and even threw in a few signature moves, instantly drawing attention away from the stage and onto herself.
Social media lit up almost immediately. Some fans loved seeing Taylor’s genuine support for Sabrina, calling it “iconic” and “the kind of friendship energy we love to see.” Swifties praised her for being unapologetically herself and for showing up for a younger artist in the industry. One user tweeted, “Taylor dancing like no one’s watching is the highlight of my night. She’s a whole vibe!”
However, not everyone felt the same. Critics argued that Swift’s enthusiastic display overshadowed Carpenter’s moment in the spotlight. “Taylor, we love you, but this was Sabrina’s time to shine,” one person commented. Others felt it was a bit over-the-top and questioned whether Swift’s presence was unintentionally diverting attention from the performer.
Despite the mixed reactions, it’s clear that Swift’s presence at the Grammys continues to be magnetic. Whether intentionally or not, her natural charisma and larger-than-life personality tend to draw eyes wherever she goes. Sabrina Carpenter, for her part, seemed unbothered and later posted a photo of the night with a caption thanking her fans—and maybe even a subtle nod to Swift’s supportive energy.
In the end, whether you saw it as playful support or an accidental spotlight steal, Taylor Swift once again reminded everyone why she remains one of the most talked-about figures in music today.
