Taylor Swift has reportedly pulled out of a tentative Grammys performance ahead of this Sunday’s ceremony.
The You Need to Calm Down singer had not announced the performance as it was due to be a surprise, according to reports.
Sources also told Variety that Cats actress Taylor was considering performing her feminist anthem The Man on the show.
The song is one of the album tracks on Lover, which was released last year and topped charts around the world. The album has sold almost three million copies to date.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Taylor won’t even be attending the ceremony, despite being nominated for three awards: best pop vocal album, song of the year and best pop solo performance.
She didn’t attend last year’s ceremony either.
The Grammys are due to take place at the Staples Center in LA this Sunday.
The news follows last year’s drama when Taylor claimed music exec Scooter Braun was blocking her from playing her old songs on a televised recording of the American Music Awards.
She spoke out on Tumblr after the masters to her first six albums were acquired by Braun as his company Ithaca Holdings bought Big Machine Label Group.
Scooter later denied the claims, saying: ‘I don’t do anything with malicious intent. I try to do things above board. I try to do the right thing.’
He added on Tony Gonzalez’s Wide Open podcast: ‘Not everyone’s going to be happy with everything that you do, and I think in the long-term – I’ve learned this over time – the truth always comes out, and I’m confident in that.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Taylor and the Grammys for comment.
