The Grammy Awards 2025 promised to be a night of glitter, glamor and unforgettable moments. However, a name seemed determined to fly the spotlights in all bad ways: Kanye West. Known for his controversial waterfalls and his current quarrel with Taylor Swift, West has once again tried to make the headlines, but this time, his plan turned spectacularly. Instead of dominating the conversation, he found himself at the reception of a public embarrassment that left fans and criticisms shaking his head.
A quarrel of a decade has rekindled
The story of Kanye West and Taylor Swift dates back to the infamous MTV Video Music Awards 2009, where West took the scene, caught the microphone of a Swift teenager and said that Beyoncé deserved the prize. This incident sparked a quarrel that lasted more than a decade, West aimed several times Swift over the years. From big disorder titles to the involvement of Kim Kardashian and a disclosed telephone call which added fuel to the fire, the tension between the two has never completely dissipated.
Quick advance until 2025, and West was still trying to stir the pot. Just before the Grammys, he went to Instagram to announce that he was following only one person on the platform: Taylor Swift. For the context, the only person West follows on X (formerly Twitter) is Elon Musk, which means that his movement looks like a deliberate attempt to shake Swift. With the three stars – West, Swift and Beyoncé – which take place to attend the Grammys, it was clear that West was trying to create a drama before the start of the event.

A NIGHT OF COMEUPPANCE
However, West’s plans did not go exactly as planned. Reports quickly surfaced that he and his wife, Bianca Censori, were escorted outside the Grammys place, and the reasons for their withdrawal became a hot conversation subject. According to sources, the couple has never been officially invited to the event, and their presence caused sufficient disruption to justify a police intervention.
Visually, West and Censori arrived on the red carpet in outfits that immediately attracted attention. West opted for its low effort outfit, while Censori turned his head by wearing an oversized fur coat. But the real shock came when she removed the coat to reveal a completely transparent dress with nothing below. The waterfall triggered a frenzy on social networks, with fans and criticism by discussing whether this decision was daring or simply tasteless.
While the buffoonery of the couple’s red carpet were sufficient to make it the speech of the night, their steep outing has become the real story. The Pop base social media platform tweeted that the two had been escorted, although the position was deleted later. Page Six also indicated that the initiates had confirmed the couple’s dismissal, adding that the police were involved. If it is true, it is a clear sign that the grammys had no patience for the antics of West.

Swift’s silent victory
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has become one of the greatest winners of the night – without even saying a word. While the presence of West and the subsequent elimination dominated the headlines, Swift remained focused on what really had: his music. She has received several nominations in the main categories, including the album of the year, the song of the year and the record of the year, cementing her status of one of the most famous artists of her generation.
West, on the other hand, faced another type of night. Not only did he not caused chaos he probably intended, but he also lost his appointment to the Grammy for the best rap song to Kendrick Lamar. In a way, the night served as a poetic recall that talent and humility often surpass attempts to stir.

The Grammys 2025 will undoubtedly remain memories for its unforgettable moments, but perhaps the point to remember the most satisfactory is as follows: Kanye West’s attempts to intimidate and cause Taylor Swift again. Instead of reveling in the waste he tried to create, West found himself on the sidelines, looking at Swift to continue to prosper – proving that sometimes the best revenge is simply success.
