Kanye West's Grammy antics: A failed photo op with Swift
Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, caused a scandal during the 2025 Grammy Awards. According to The Sun, at one point, the rapper desperately wanted Taylor Swift to create a sensation with a joint photo, but no one wanted to assist him. They were reportedly asked to leave the event.
The British tabloid reports that Kanye West attempted to arrange a meeting with Taylor Swift during this year's Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. According to a music industry source cited by The Sun, the controversial rapper asked everyone on the red carpet when the "Cruel Summer" star would appear.
Kanye West caused a stir among photographers and others right at the beginning of the gala when his wife, Bianca Censori, dropped her fur coat, revealing a completely see-through dress that left little to the imagination. According to media sources, his desire to take a photo with Swift upon her arrival at the gala was another attempt to draw attention to himself.

His attempts failed. "No one wanted to help," a source tells The Sun. "They didn't want to create a potentially weird situation." Taylor Swift, nominated in several categories but ultimately not winning any awards, was seen in great spirits, cheering on her industry colleagues at the Crypto.com Arena, where the gala occurred.
"They were quizzing staff about which entrance she was coming to and how she would be getting to her seat," adds the source. "He wanted to try and bump into her and chat in front of the cameras." However, the plan failed, and Kanye and Bianca went to their party in East LA with friend Justin LaBoy.
Let's recall West and Swift's tumultuous history since 2009. At that time, the rapper interrupted Swift's speech during the MTV Video Music Awards in New York, which was a substantial surprise for her and everyone present. This time, the singer avoided an awkward situation, appearing at the gala alone as her partner, Travis Kelce was preparing for the Super Bowl.
During the event, Bianca Censori was seen smiling and singing Adele's hit "Rolling in the Deep." The Sun contacted Kanye West's representatives but received no response.
