And the Grammy goes to . . . not Taylor Swift. When the country crooner didn’t win the Album of the Year award for “Red,” her shocked reaction was turned into a GIF. Going home with the gold instead was the French duo Daft Punk for their album “Random Access Memories.”
Some would consider this triumph one small leap for electronic music and one huge slap in the face for the disappointed Swift, who, along with those around her, thought she was going home with a Grammy gold for her “Red” album.
Swift, who has taken home seven Grammys in the past, was up for four this year, but went home empty-handed. Who knows maybe this well-captured loss will serve as inspiration for her next album — which could be titled “Blue” because “Red” is obviously not her color. Watch this priceless moment — and clap along.
