Taylor and Harry dated on and off for several months in 2012 and the beginning of 2013. He inspired most of the tracks off her Grammy-winning album, 1989. The two first proved they were amicable when they both attended the 2021 Grammys and had another catch up session in the crowd.
The 2023 Grammys were a big night for both Harry and Taylor. In addition to the two big categories that Harry won, he was also nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, which he lost to Lizzo, Bonnie Raitt and Adele, respectively. Taylor won one award, Best Music Video, during the Grammys pre-telecast for her song “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (The Short Film).” She was nominated for Best Country Song, Song of the Year, and Best Song Written For Visual Media, as well.
After her pre-show win, Taylor took to Twitter to acknowledge how special this moment was for her. “I can’t put into words what this means to me,” she wrote. “For the Recording Academy and my peers to acknowledge me as a director, and in doing so, acknowledge my work to try and reclaim my music…I am blown away. Thank you to all the fans who willed this to happen.”
