Tori Kelly Mesmerizes at Grammy Awards, Shades Taylor Swift

Tori Kelly appears to be on Team Kanye West.


At the 58th annual Grammy Awards on Monday night, the artist received the same sort of reaction as she enjoyed after performing last year at the MTV Video Music Awards.



That is to say… she absolutely killed it!


Kelly was one of the most talked-about acts after taking to the stage alongside James Bay and singing a duet mash-up of “Let It Go” and “Hollow.”


You really should check out the performance above.


But Kelly also made headlines for her reaction later in the evening, as cameras captured Tori in the audience during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech upon winning Best Album.


While most in the crowd seemed moved by Swift’s words, which were inspired by Kanye West’s recent diss of her on the track “Famous,” here is a look at how Kelly reacted to Taylor:



She is SO over Taylor Swift, isn’t she?


“I want to say to all the young women out there,” Swift said in her speech, clearly referencing her current beef with Kanye.


“There are going to be people along the way who are going to try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.”


But Swift encouraged these same young women to just “focus on the work” and not to let “those people sidetrack you.”


What issue, exactly, did Kelly take with Swift’s message?


Who knows. Perhaps she just has Taylor Swift overload.


Or maybe she was just upset over losing out to Meghan Trainor for Best New Artist earlier in the evening.


But that’s a far less interesting angle for us to believe or promote than the one that finds Tori Kelly hating on Taylor Swift.
