Fans of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish have taken to social to declare their favourite artists were respectively “robbed” at the 2025 Grammys last night (February 2).
Both are no strangers to Grammy gold, with ‘The Tortured Poet’s Department’ hit-maker having a career total of 14 wins with 58 nominations, while Eilish has 9 wins and 31 nominations.
Both were up for Record of the Year – Swift for ‘Fortnight’ and Eilish for ‘Birds of a Feather’ – but the category was ultimately won by Kendrick Lamar.
The rapper walked away as the biggest winner of the night, clinching five awards including Record of The Year and Song Of The Year for ‘Not Like Us’. He also took home the Grammys for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for ‘Not Like Us’, which also won Best Music Video.
Likewise, the pair were nominated for Album of the Year for ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ and ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ respectively, but lost out to Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’. The ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ singer was also awarded Best Country Album, which was delivered to her by Swift.
Despite embarking on a culture-defining ‘Eras Tour’ last year, which saw over 10million attendees in total and took in a staggering $2billion in ticket sales, Swift was awarded no Grammys at last night’s ceremony – the first time the star has ever been snubbed when she had six or more nominations.
Similarly, the ‘Wildflower’ singer was nominated for seven awards on the night, along with her brother and collaborator Finneas, but lost out in all categories on the night.
Ardent fans of Taylor Swift, known fondly as Swifties, have not responded well, and many are levelling accusations at Jay-Z for somehow pulling strings for his wife. “Well taylor was snubbed,” wrote one fan on X/Twitter.
“You can not tell me that the biggest album of the year by miles was undeserving of at least one grammy. now why the fuck did taylor go to present to beyonce, and then lose to beyonce. that’s just what happens when your husband writes a check and complains.”
Others expressed shock that the pair, who normally clean house at awards show, each walked away empty handed, with one writing: “A Grammy night with zero wins for Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift feels like a different world.” Check out more reactions below:

TTPD getting snubbed at the Grammys is proof that even Hollywood is getting tired of Taylor Swift’s bullshit. As happy as she pretended to be, we know how much losing hurts her.
Will this be a wake up call? Of course not. But it should be.

Congratulations Jay-Z your rant last year got your wife's mediocre album AOTY. I knew last year after your rant it would happen. We all know the TRUE AOTY belongs to Taylor Swift's TTPD that out preformed Cowboy Carter! Fuck the Grammy's & their snub of Taylor!

Safe to say, it's "Snub Taylor Swift" year at the Grammys. Fuck y'all for having her present an award for your ratings.

taylor swift and billie snub is crazzyy!!!

This is my opinion not as a Taylor swift fan but as a music lover. Hmhas and ttpd were both one of the best albums made last year and my favs. Along with Sabrina, Short n sweet was a cultural reset. Billie and tay going home empty handed is the biggest snub.

The two showed no signs of disappointment throughout the night, and Swift was seen alongside Margaret Qualley dancing as Eilish performed ‘Birds Of A Feather’ at the ceremony.
