Before the awards began, the multi-time award-winning singer shared a piece of advice she might give to her younger self with Elle, which was to focus on her love for her music, even when times got tough. "That has been the thing that, no matter what, has protected me from any of the other outside things that have made me feel strange," she said.
Fashion expert Cachita Hynes, fashion stylist at StyleOnTheSpot.com, saw that too, and said of Swift's spring get-up, "If Taylor Swift was trying to make a statement with her gorgeous Oscar de la Renta floral dress on the carpet I would think it may be that she is now blossoming. It reminded me of a flowering tea ball, this beauty has been put into the boiling water, something [that] would burn or break most things." Yet instead, according to Hynes, Swift "has opened up and is born again and her drive, power and continued inspiration [are] as bold as her bloom."
The sentiment is particularly appropriate since this year's awards mark the 13th year anniversary of Swift's first Grammy nomination, and we're so happy to see her blossom.
