Videos of Taylor Swift celebrating Kendrick Lama’s Grammy wins on Sunday have gone viral online.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards was filled with unforgettable performances while also celebrating music’s biggest stars. Held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, it is one of the most highly anticipated nights in the industry.
Lamar won the Song of the Year award and Record of the Year for his diss track about Drake titled “Not Like Us.” Both times the track started playing, Swift instantly started showing off her moves, with various clips gaining traction on X (formerly Twitter).
Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Swift for comment on Monday outside of normal business hours.

X user @destroynectar reshared a video from @TayvisHaze of Swift dancing to “Not Like Us.” They captioned the clip: “Drake’s disstracks aged badly, Taylor Swift is dancing to “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar as it won Record of the Year.”
At the time of writing, the post had been viewed 252,800 times.
“She’s been a vibe since the show started. She’s a sweet woman,” one person commented.
“It’s officially over for Drake,” said another.
X user @chartstswift also shared the same clip, with their post having been viewed over 237,000 times. “Taylor Swift vibing to ‘Not Like Us’ after Kendrick Lamar’s win,” they wrote.
Another video was uploaded by Chris Gardner, a senior staff writer at The Hollywood Reporter. In the clip, living legend Diana Ross announced Lamar as the winner of Song of the Year before the camera showed Swift dancing in the audience.
“Here’s the moment Diana Ross announced Kendrick Lamar with song of the year honors. Fellow nominee Taylor Swift immediately starts dancing to Not like Us,” he captioned the post.
Swift and Lamar previously worked together when the rapper appeared on Swift’s track “Bad Blood” from the album 1989. The track was a huge success for both performers, as it became Swift’s fourth No. 1 song on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and Kendrick’s first career No. 1.
The pop superstar previously found herself in the middle of Drake and Lamar’s well-documented feud when the “God’s Plan” rapper not only name-dropped her on his song “Taylor Made Freestyle,” released April 19, but used her release of The Tortured Poets Department album as a potential reason why Lamar had not responded at the time.
“But now we gotta wait a f****** week ’cause Taylor Swift is your new Top / And if you ’bout to drop, she gotta approve / This girl really ’bout to make you act like you not in a feud,” the Canadian artist raps on the song.
Lamar eventually released the track “Not Like Us” on May 4, which hit number one. The song calls Drake a liar, along with accusing the 37-year-old of liking underage girls. The tune was in response to Drake’s diss track “Family Matters,” released on May 4.
Lamar is set to take the stage in New Orleans on February 9 during halftime of the Kansas City Chiefs versus Philadelphia Eagles game. This will be Lamar’s first solo performance at the Super Bowl, and it is the first time a solo rapper has headlined the halftime show. Lamar is also expected to drop an exclusive, limited-edition merch collection in collaboration with designer Willy Chavarria.
Sportsbook site Props.com analyzed the prediction market Kalshi to give Swift just a 5 percent chance of taking the stage alongside rapper Lamar during the halftime show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Scott Krones, the general manager at Props.com, said in a press release to Newsweek that anticipation around a Swift performance is likely to rise ahead of the big game.
“Last year, all eyes were on Taylor and Travis at the Super Bowl and it’s looking likely that we’ll see the hype continue this year too,” Krones said. “However, unlike last year, the halftime act Kendrick Lamar has a well-documented working relationship with Taylor Swift, leaving many to speculate that she may be more inclined to make a surprise appearance during the halftime show. While the odds are looking like Swifties may be disappointed, there is still a small chance and an appearance like this would certainly send the internet into meltdown.”
