Taylor Swift went on to confer Beyoncé the Best Country Album trophy at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Fans who witnessed the touching gesture during the ceremony shared their thoughts on social media, connecting the occasion to one of the most memorable moments in award show history.

Swift and Beyoncé hugged warmly before Swift’s victory speech, and the former said, “Wow! I really was not expecting this. I’d like to thank all of the incredible Country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think sometimes genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists. I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about and to stay persistent.”

Fans who shared their opinions on social media had a hilarious reaction to the performers temporarily sharing the stage post Kanye West’s arrival. One of the fans tweeted the words to One Direction’s song “Night Changes” along with two pictures taken decades apart.

A user commented, “Omg wait… Taylor presented an award to Beyoncé and Kanye got escorted out of the awards. That’s like actually crazy when you think about the ancient texts.”

Another added, “Taylor starting out in country & getting her moment ruined by K*nye, then Beyonce stepping in to give Taylor her own moment, then 15 years later Taylor presents the country award to Beyonce after K*nye was kicked out of the venue. off the charts hilarious & emotional.”

On the stage, West asserted that Beyoncé was more deserving of the honor than the Bad Blood singer, as the audience relived the moment when Swift received an MTV award for her music video of You Belong With Me.
