Taylor looked overwhelmed by her record-breaking win – as she is the only person in history to get the accolade four times.
She gasped and hugged her friends around her, before getting onstage and continuing to hug various people.
When the Bad Blood singer made it to Celine, she took the Grammy from the singer without looking at her.
‘OMG!’ Taylor Swift ‘blindsides’ fans by announcing brand-new album in Grammys speech
Celine smiled awkwardly and looked down, before moving to the back of the stage.
Taylor also shocked fans in her speech by announcing that her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, will come out on April 19.
The brief moment didn’t go unnoticed by viewers at home, who branded Taylor “disrespectful” for not “not acknowledging” Celine.
Fans thought it was odd as Celine had been given a standing ovation just moments before – and Taylor herself was seen singing along to the popstar’s song, The Power of Love.
“Taylor Swift just took the album of the year trophy from Celine Dion without batting an eye and/or acknowledging that a legendary was handing her the award. So cringey for my soul,” one viewer wrote on X.
“OK but TaylorSwift waiting and ignoring Celine Dion is a crime? NOT HUGGING HER AND JUST TAKING THE TROPHY? WHAT?!” another added.

“Taylor Swift receives her Grammy from the GOAT Celine Dion and she doesn’t even make eye contact with her. Disrespectful,” a third fumed.
“Taylor Swift just took the album of the year trophy from Celine Dion without batting an eye and acknowledging that a legendary was handing her the award. This woman is disgusting,” yet another user raged.
The apparent snub appeared to have been forgotten moments later, however, as Taylor and Celine were pictured cuddling up backstage.
Celine was emotional as she walked onstage at the Grammys with support from her eldest son Rene-Charles Angelil, 23, to present the Album of the Year award.
“Thank you, all! I love you right back,” she told the crowd.
“You look beautiful. When I say I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart.
“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 people all around the world.
“And now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends Diana Ross and Sting presented to me 27 years ago.”
Taylor was nominated in six categories at the ceremony – Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for Anti-Hero, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her Karma collaboration with Ice Spice.
