Taylor Swift reaches out to Beyonce after slamming the diva's friend (2024)

Taylor Swiftdelivered a veiled blow to Kanye West during her Grammy acceptance speech on Monday night, letting her fans know that she was not going to let the Stronger singer take her down.

But that didn't keep the Bad Blood hit maker from reaching out to one of the rapper's best friends, Beyonce, later on in the night.

While backstage at the Staples Center, where the music awards show was held, the 26-year-old blonde extended a hand to the vocal powerhouse, who reached right back.

No problems here: Taylor Swift reached out to Beyonce backstage at the Grammys on Monday night

Beyonce was at the center of Kanye's issue with Taylor in 2009.

West had famously interrupted Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The husband of Kim Kardashian said that Beyonce should have won instead of Taylor.

Beyonce later won Video of the Year and brought Swift back onstage to allow her to 'have her moment.'

The women hugged on stage for all to see.

The two seemed to have stayed close since. Beyonce and husband Jay Z attended Swift's 25th birthday party at her apartment in New York City in 2014.

Swift, Beyoncé and Jay also attended a Justin Timberlake concert days later.

Later, Taylor was seen celebrating her triple win at theGrammy Awardsin stunning style.

The 26-year-old superstar - who undeniably stole the show at the ceremony - looked utterly sensational in a tiny leg-baring ensemble as she prepared to party the night away with boyfriend Calvin Harris and famous gal pals Lorde and Ellie Goulding.

Looking amazing as she flaunted her willowy figure, endless legs and toned abs in a tiny two-piece, Taylor flashed a huge grin at onlookers as she led the way into the Hyde night club in West Hollywood.

She showed off her lovely legs in a super-short mini skirt teamed with a matching sleeveless crop top, drawing attention to her toned, whittled waistline and shapely shoulders.

The cream co-ordinating items were covered with a metallic gold detail running horizontally across the fabric adding a fantastic edge to the look: she tied it together with a pair of towering gold heels adding inches to her lofty frame.

Letting her (new) hair down: The 26-year-old looked raring to go as she led the way in her striking cream and gold co-ord, her new short bob looking great with her bare shoulders

She showed off her funky new bob hairstyle as she strode out of the party bus and into the A-list soiree, holding hands with a friend while being clung to by music star Lorde.

Finishing her dazzling look, she added a pop of bright neon pink to her lips, which were firmly fixed into a huge smile as she stepped out after her big night.

Following in her wake was her beau, Scottish DJ Calvin, who looked typically stoic in a very casual outfit as he prepared to join the others.

Taylor - who is known for her close-knit and very famous circle of friends - was joined by Lorde and Ellie for the celebration at Hyde Sunset Kitchen & Cocktail, which was the setting of the Republic Records Grammys after party.

Lorde, 19, looked to be having a whale of a time as she followed behind her star pal, looking stylish and with a typical gothic edge in a low-cut textured black jumpsuit.

Ellie, 29, also rocked her signature quirky style, showing off her toned legs in a funky star printed leather mini dress.

During the show, Taylor was the talk of the music industry as she became the first ever female artist to win the Album of the Year award twice.

And, in her acceptance speech, she hit out at West, following his claim last week that he made her famous.

'As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,' Taylor said as she accepted her award, clearly referencing the rapper's recent comments.

'But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going,' she added.

'You will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.'

In an astonishing 15 tweet outburst last week, Kanye began by saying he 'did not diss' the singer and he has 'never dissed her'. But he then launched into a rant about how he called her on the phone, had an hour-long conversation with her about the song Famous, and said she found it 'funny' and gave him her blessing.

Furthermore, he defended the use of the word 'b*tch' in the song, saying it was an 'endearing term' in hip hop, like the word 'Ni***'. The track Famous, which also features Taylor's rival Rihanna, Kanye raps: 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.' And added: 'Why? I made that b*tch famous.'

In what could be seen as a jump in logic, Kanye even claimed that the line 'I made that b*tch famous', was actually her idea.

In the tweets he wrote: 'I'm not even gone take credit for the idea... it's actually something Taylor came up with.'

The Trouble hitmaker later denied Kanye's claims and blasted the track as 'misogynistic'.

Her spokeswoman said in a statement to MailOnline: 'Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single Famous on her Twitter account.

'She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, "I made that b*tch famous."'

Kanye infamously interrupted Taylor's 2009 speech at the MTV VMAs. But since that time the two looked to have patched things up as Taylor presented Kanye with the Video Vanguard Award at last year's VMAs. Now, of course, it looks like things are back to being volatile.

But she put it all behind her as she held her head high during - and after - the ceremony, an almost constant smile on her face.

Also on the night, Taylor nabbed two other Grammys. As well as winning Album of the Year, she bagged Best Vocal Pop Album for Bad Blood, and Best Music Video for the single of the same name.
