Regardless of who is taking the stage at the Grammys, fans can count on Taylor Swift to stand out and shake it off in the crowd with her energetic dance moves, captivating everyone in the audience. At this year’s ceremony, the “Fortnight” artist, 35, was filmed dancing throughout the night as Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish and Janelle Monae performed.
However, Swift really caught the attention of the internet when getting down to Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.” The “Anti-Hero” singer nodded her head and performed a dance similar to the “stanky leg” as the music blared from the speakers when Lamar, 37, rose to receive the award for Song of the Year.

A video shared by @harryalex98 on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok went viral, showing the Grammy winner shaking her hips “awkwardly” as she grooved on stage at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. Clad in a fringed gold mini dress and white boots, the Tortured Poets Department songwriter swayed to her 2008 hit "You Belong With Me."
Despite her efforts to channel a carefree vibe, her movements—complete with some playful tongue action—came off as "stiff" and "cringe" to some viewers. Swift seemed unfazed, treating the moment with a sense of fun.
Responses to the "Cruel Summer" hitmaker's most recent dancing flooded in from every part of the web, including X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
Swifties posted videos of her over the past few days, accompanying them with witty remarks and generating an endless stream of memes. Although some poked fun at Swift's dancing in a light-hearted manner, the general atmosphere was one of amusement and happiness.
While Swift didn't take home any awards at the 67th annual Grammy awards ceremony, she seemed to be in great spirits throughout the night. One memorable highlight of the evening was when the "Love Story" singer presented the award for Best Country Album to Beyoncé for Cowboy Carter.
This was a notable moment as Swift received the same honor back in 2010 for her album, Fearless. She later enthusiastically applauded as her friend Queen Bey, 43, also scored the coveted Album of the Year trophy.
