Superstar singer Taylor Swift ruffled many feathers at the Golden Globes, barring the late arrival and staying for too short a time. She indulged unsuspecting fellow celebs with Poised selfies, started conspiracy theories, and socialized with Studio Power Players. She also refused to respond to tasteless jokes. Sizzling in a glittering green Gucci gown, the country crooner celebrated her nomination.
Truly a Golden Era Sunday
Arriving fashionably late in her style, Taylor Swift arrived at the Beverly Hilton with just a few hours left to witness the 81st Golden Globes. She was nominated for her record-breaking concert documentary AMC’s “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.” The lively evening honoured her concert documentary with a nomination in the “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement” category, a new entry this year.

After competing among 8 nominees, the movie “Barbie” won the inaugural award, and director Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and the Pink Parade accepted the trophy. Although Taylor went back empty-handed, she sure grabbed the most attention. AMC made it a point to announce that Swift’s documentary is an all-time highest-grosser, surpassing “This Is It” by Michael Jackson.
Nail-Biting Anticipation for Swift’s Presence
Until the last moment, there was no confirmation if Taylor would make an appearance. The suspense was chilling, and when she arrived, cameras flashed to no end. Since Taylor’s beau Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs had a match in Los Angeles, Swift came in with an entourage.
Her close friend Keleigh Teller, publicist Tree Paine, and bodyguards were with her. Taylor, wearing a Gucci gown and De Beers jewellery, became one of the best-dressed celebs for that night.
Taylor Swift’s Actions Surprise Fans
She shared the table with Searchlight Pictures top executives, David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield, who won “Poor Things” trophies. Master of dropping Easter Eggs in her songs and clues in her actions, Taylor left fans amused with this hint. In 2022, there was news of her collaboration with Searchlight for her directorial debut with her script. Perhaps Hollywood ambitions are on the cards?
We also saw her taking selfies with Bill Hader, star of HBO’s “Barry” and posing with Cailee Spaeny of “Priscilla”, both fellow Golden Globe nominees. Her enthusiasm was contagious — Taylor Swift has always been a strong cheerleader, be it the Grammy or MTV awards. She gave a standing ovation for the “Barbie” win and cheered for “Poor Things” actor Emma Stone.
Rumors Abuzz
In a viral moment, Taylor Swift animatedly whispered to Selena Gomez, which led to conspiracy theories that the convo was about “Wonka” star Timothée Chalamet. The media wrote that Selena asked Timothée for a selfie, but his girlfriend Kylie Jenner denied her request.
Gomez later clarified that her long-time bestie was talking about her friends who hooked up. “Not that that’s anyone’s business,” the former Disney actor said in an Instagram post. Swift’s post-Globes activities ranged from a “relaxed” dinner to afterparties around the city.
Most of all, Taylor Swift’s stone-faced look went viral. When host Jo Koy said, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.” She glared at him and calmly took a sip of Moët & Chandon and seemed unimpressed by the flat joke.
