Taylor Swift snubbed at major event as presenter ignores her in cringeworthy moment
who has been facing an extreme health battle – but her fans have now rallied in her support and said she was simply doing the right thing.
Taylor, 34, was seen excitedly heading on to the stage to take the award from Celine but failed to even look at the legendary French star instead turning to her team and then heading to the speech podium.
Many suggested it showed a certain degree of arrogance on Taylor’s part that she did not even glance in Celine’s direction. But her fans have another suggestion – it was simply the right thing to do considering her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome.Another commented: “Stop this stupid narrative. Taylor hung out with Celine afterwards. Celine also has a painful neurological disease which makes touch very painful.” A third fan wrote: “Celine Dion has a medical condition – Taylor couldn’t touch her. Also Celine backed away before Taylor could have hugged her.”
And a fourth social media user added: “The disease she has is neurological and can be painful for people to touch her. She was probably told before the show not to touch her. ” A fifth posted: “She was probably notified ahead of time that Celine is fragile and not to touch her. She has a rare autoimmune disease that causes painful muscle spasms.”
