Why Taylor Swift, Cynthia Erivo shared seat on Grammys 2025

Taylor Swift held space for Cynthia Erivo.

At the 2025 Grammy Awards announced Trevor Noah: “Taylor Swift is here!” And when the cameras panned to the singer, viewers noticed that she shared a seat with “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo.

In a video shared about X During the Los Angeles award ceremony on February 2, Erivo, 38, was seen going through the Crypto.com Arena looking for his seat while the host, 40, started his opening monologue.

The actress caught the eye of Swift, 35, who waved her over to the table and invited Erivo to share the chair with her. Also sitting at Swift’s table was Megastar’s partner Jack Antonoff and his wife, “The Substance” actress Margaret Qualley.

Erivo was sitting on the chair next to Swift as the couple embraced with a laugh.

In one second X Video, the “Fourteen Days” artist laughed as she grabbed Erivo’s finger to reintroduce the viral “Holding Space” moment with her “evil” co -star Ariana Grande during the film’s press tour.

“Help? !? Taylor Swift just tried to keep room for the lyrics to trust gravity with Cynthia Erivo on #Grammys ,” uses the social media that became the user.

“The duo we never knew we needed,” commented a fan.

Erivo – who won a Grammy Best Musical Theater album for his performance in 2017 in “The Color Purple” – performed during the awards show as part of a tribute to the late Quincy Jones.

SWIFT meanwhile took the stage to present the best land album to the winner Beyoncé.

The superstar is also nominated for best pop duo/group performance for “us”, her duet with Gracie Abrams; Best Pop Vocal performance of the year and album for “The Tortured Poets Department” and this year’s Song, Best Music Video and Record of the Year – the last to “Fortnight” with Post Malone.

Swift lost the best music video -award for Kendrick Lamar for “Not Like Us” and the best Pop Vocal Performance Award to Sabrina Carpenter for “Short N ‘Sweet.”

But Swift, who wore a red custom Vivienne Westwood Minidress, red heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, shook it off as she danced to Carpenter’s performance.

At one point, she put her hands in a prayer pose as she swung back and forth to “please thank you.”

She even got Antonoff, who produced the track for Carpenter, into the fun.

Swift’s girlfriend, Travis Kelce, was not at the ceremony when he just touched in New Orleans in front of the Super Bowl.

His team, Kansas City Chiefs, is ready to meet against Philadelphia Eagles on February 9th.

Swift apparently gave a nod to Kelce by wearing everything red – chiefs’ color – and a “t” chain packed around her upper thigh.
