Taylor Swift ‘refused to attend’ this year’s Grammys, after organisers didn’t guarantee that she had won an award.

The Shake It Off singer was a no-show at the bash, held at the Staples Center in LA, on 26 January, with many questioning why she hadn’t turned up.

And it has now been claimed the 30-year-old decided to skip the whole thing after not being assured that she would be taking home a trophy.

‘[Her team] called and wanted to be assured that she would win the Grammy,’ a source claimed.

‘And while it wasn’t an explicit demand, they certainly were fishing to find out if Taylor was a winner.

‘It was understood in the conversation that if she’s not winning, she’s not coming to the Grammys.’

While another insider added to Page Six: ‘It’s widely known in the industry that [Swift’s team] called to find out if she was getting a Grammy, they wouldn’t tell her, so she didn’t go.

‘It’s not uncommon to want to know. And everyone knows Taylor loves to win, win, win.’

However, a spokesperson for Taylor blasted the claims, insisting they are ‘false and laughable’.

‘These statements by anonymous, unidentified “sources” are absolutely 100 percent false and laughable,’ they said in a statement shared with Metro.co.uk.

‘She just didn’t go to the Grammys.’

While another insider told Us Weekly she decided to give the ceremony a miss to spend time with her family.

So everyone needs to calm down.

Swifty racked up three nominations at this year’s bash, including song of the year for Lover, best pop solo performance for You Need To Calm Down, while album Lover scored her a nod for best pop vocal album.

Unfortunately, she missed out on all three gongs, with Billie Eilish and Lizzo beating her to the crown.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Taylor and the Grammys for a comment.
