The Grammy 2026 Awards have been on our Instagram feeds, and while talks about Justin Bieber’s infamous shorts and Bad Bunny’s iconic win take most of the headlines, many notice Taylor Swift’s heavy absence. The star had been dominating the charts over the past months with her recent album called Life Of A Showgirl, and was also gearing up for her engagement with Travis Kelce. Read to know about the reason here.
About Taylor Swift, Grammys 2026
After her alleged chats with Blake Lively about Justin Baldoni went viral, Swifties wondered why Taylor Swift skipped the Grammys 2026. They were also wondering why her album wasn’t listed in any of the nominations. Her 13th album, Life Of A Showgirl, was released in October 2025, after the Recording Academy’s eligibility window of August 2024 to August 2025. As a result, it did not qualify for the ballot. She also did not release any singles during this period, so she did not have an eligible entry for the Grammys in 2026.
Reports suggest that this could be the reason for her skipping the red carpet since she had no nominations to her name. With 14 awards, she might join the show in 2027 with her new album, though nothing is confirmed. On the other hand, the source also said that she is giving time to her personal life with Travis Kelce after their engagement in August 2025. As per Entertainment Tonight, her wedding preparations were paused due to Travis’s NFL career decision was also a reason she was keeping her public appearances to a low profile.
Taylor Swift, on the other hand, recently resurfaced in the spotlight when an alleged text message to Blake Lively circulated online.
