On February 2, 2025, Twitch star Kai Cenat hosted a special IRL livestream from the Grammy Awards 2025. Several clips from the broadcast have garnered attention on social media, but one, in particular, has gone viral — in which the New Yorker seemingly got ignored by pop icon Taylor Swift.
In a 24-second video posted on X, Kai Cenat noticed Taylor Swift at the event and directed his cameraperson to pan toward her. He then tried to get her attention, saying that his sister adored her.
After not receiving a response from the popstar, the two-time Streamer of the Year award winner exclaimed:
"She (Taylor Swift) went there! She went there! Taylor! Taylor! Make sure you get it. Get this! Oh, Taylor! Come, Taylor! Taylor, Taylor, Taylor! My sister loves you, Taylor! Her name is Brianna! Damn! She went the other way! We tried. She didn't ego me. He said, 'Taylor said hi,' did you get it?"
Hundreds of netizens have shared their thoughts on Kai Cenat and Taylor Swift's video from the Grammy Awards 2025:
