Taylor Swift turned heads at the 2025 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The singer arrived on the red carpet wearing a dazzling red minidress by Vivienne Westwood. The custom couture gown featured a single-shoulder design and a corseted silhouette.

Swift paired the dress with strappy red stilettos and statement ruby earrings. She also wore a leg chain with a “T” pendant peeking out from the slit of her dress. Many fans saw this as a clear nod to her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The color choice was significant for Swift. It paid homage to her “Red” era, centered around her 2012 fourth album. It also recalled the series of red outfits she recently wore while supporting Kelce at his football games.

Despite their glamorous appearance, Swift and Kelce did not make their anticipated red carpet-debut as a couple. Kelce was absent from the event as he prepares for the 2025 Super Bowl next Sunday in New Orleans. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in the big game.
Swift is nominated for six awards at this year’s Grammys.

Her nominations include Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for her 2024 release, “The Tortured Poets Department.” She is also up for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Music Video for her collaboration with Post Malone.
Her duet with Gracie Abrams, “Us,” is nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. In addition to being a nominee, Swift will also take the stage to present during the ceremony. Fans speculated if she might use the moment to make a special announcement, perhaps about a new album, but nothing has been confirmed.
Many memorable moments inside the Crypto.com Arena did not make it to the televised broadcast. Olivia Rodrigo attended the Grammys with her boyfriend, “Enola Holmes” actor Louis Partridge. The couple was in love as they chatted with friends before the show.
Jay-Z and Beyoncé arrived fashionably late and held court in the VIP section. Their 13-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, had a lengthy conversation with Taylor Swift during a commercial break. Music producer Jack Antonoff was seen taking candid photos of Swift throughout the night.
St. Vincent surprised everyone by announcing her marriage and the birth of her daughter while accepting her Grammy awards. Rapper Doechii proved herself with an electrifying performance of “Catfish” and “Denial is a River.”
Despite Kelce’s absence, there is considerable anticipation that Swift will support him at the Super Bowl next weekend.
Fans will watch to see if she appears in another dazzling red ensemble.
