Kanye's Grammy night stumble: Failed photo op with Swift

Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, caused quite a scene during the 2025 Grammy Awards. According to "The Sun," at one point, the rapper was eagerly searching for Taylor Swift to create a buzz 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. A music industry insider cited by The Sun stated that the controversial rapper asked everyone on the red carpet when the "Cruel Summer" star would arrive.

Kanye West stirred up excitement 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. Media sources mention his eagerness to take a photo with Swift as another attempt to draw attention to himself.

His efforts were in vain. "No one wanted to help," a source told "The Sun." "They didn't want to create a potentially weird situation." Taylor Swift, who was nominated in several categories but did not win any awards, was seen in high spirits, cheering for her industry colleagues at the Crypto.com Arena, where the gala took place.

"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 own party in East LA with friend Justin LaBoy.

Let's recall that West and Swift have a tumultuous history that began in 2009. At that time, the rapper interrupted Swift's speech during the MTV Video Music Awards in New York, which shocked not only her but also everyone present. This time, the singer avoided an awkward situation and attended 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 did not receive a response.
