Celine "loves" Taylor and did not view her speech as a snub, an insider told RadarOnline.com.

As this outlet reported, Swift made history by accepting the Album of the Year award for the fourth time at Sunday's show. It was also a special moment for Dion because it was her first big appearance since announcing her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis in 2022, which forced her to go into hiding and cancel her tour.

The Falling Into You performer looked healthy and made it clear she was happy to be at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
