We certainly can't expect to go through awards seasons without controversies, and this year is no exception—the latest ceremony, of course, being the Grammys.

And at the center of it all is none other than now-14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift. But don't worry, fans set the haters straight.

People on social media went absolutely bonkers after Swift won her fourth Album of the Year Grammy, making her the only artist in history to accomplish such.

But that wasn't what all the buzz was about. No, Swift was accused of 'snubbing' presenter, the great Celine Dion, during one of her very rare public appearances since announcing her battle with the neurological condition stiff person syndrome.

You can watch below.

The video shows a visibly shocked Swift accepting her award and proceeding to deliver her acceptance speech, but people online were furious that the singer appeared to have completely ignored Dion.





Shortly after the moment spread like wildfire, however, Swifties were in full force, combating the hate with a backstage photo of the singer embracing Dion just after her win.

And just like that, they shut down the snub accusations.

Of course, some joked that Swift's PR team worked fast to intervene.







Dion also presented Swift with her Artist of the Year award at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

They hugged onstage, in case you were wondering.
