Taylor Swift seemingly made a major show of support for Jay Z at the 2025 Grammys of Sunday night as his wife Beyoncé won big on the night.
The rapper, 55, has come under fire in recent months thanks to the sexual allegations, in which he was accused late last year of gang-raping a 13 year-old girl with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
And as Jay Z attempted to move on from the controversy, Taylor proved that she is still supportive of the superstar couple as she was spotted sharing a toast with Jay as
The singer, 35, - who herself has distanced herself from pal Blake Lively amid her lawsuit with Justin Baldoni - was seen lifting up her glass of champagne towards Jay, who also reciprocated the act, as they both celebrated Beyoncé's big moment together.
Taylor's sweet moment with Jay, certainly cemented her longtime friendship with the couple, who've continued to remain friendly with her amid her ongoing feud with their pal Kanye West.
Kanye was briefly at the music event with wife Bianca Censori, before the couple were sensationally kicked out of the event following her naked red carpet stunt.
Taylor's major supportive moment for Jay and Beyoncé comes after she had earlier presented the Destiny's Child star with the Best Country Album award for Cowboy Carter.
Beyonce was famously snubbed by the Country Music Association Awards back in September so no doubt to be bestowed this honor came as a complete shock.
She looked in disbelief as Taylor announced her as the winner and looked back at her daughter Blue Ivy and husband Jay-Z.
The singer said during her acceptance speech: 'Oh, my god. Wow. I really was not expecting this. Wow. I want to thank god. Oh, my god. That I am able to still do what I love after so many years. Oh, my god. I would like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We work so hard on it.
'I think sometimes, genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about. And to stay persistent. Wow.'
The Red hitmaker's Taylor's support for the couple also comes amid a shocking night for her as she was stunningly snubbed in all six categories she was nominated, despite her record The Tortured Poets Department being the best-selling album of 2024.
In a night of shocks and snubs, Beyoncé finally won her first Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards just 12 months after her husband Jay-Z had an epic public tantrum about her being overlooked by the Recording Academy.
Beyoncé who took home the top prize for her on Cowboy Carter as she triumphed over: André 3000 – New Blue Sun, Sabrina Carpenter – Short n’ Sweet, Charli xcx – Brat, Jacob Collier – Djesse Vol 4, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft, Chappell Roan – The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and Taylor Swift – The Tortured Poets Department.

In a special moment, Beyoncé was presented the honor by several members of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
She was joined on stage by 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy as she began her acceptance speech by acknowledging them for their courage as she said: 'I'd like to thank and acknowledge and praise all the firefighters for keeping us safe.
'I just feel very full and very honored. It's been many, many years. And I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work. I want to dedicate this to Ms. Martell, and just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless. Thank you so much. Thank you.'
The 'Ms. Martell' Beyonce was referring to is a Black country music pioneer named Linda Martell whose work was featured on the star's eighth studio album.
This comes just a year after Beyonce's husband Jay-Z used his acceptance speech at last year's award show to condemn the Recording Academy for failing to give her the Best Album award despite already being one of the most decorated artists of all-time.
While accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award for his contribution to the music industry he said at the time: 'I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year.

'So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album of the Year. That doesn't work.'
Beyonce also earned Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Miley Cyrus for II Most Wanted
Sabrina Carpenter defeated her mentor Taylor to earn the coveted Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards 2025.
The 25-year-old artist was recognized for her acclaimed album Short 'N Sweet as she won over a very impressive field including: Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft, Ariana Grande – Eternal Sunshine, Chappell Roan – The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and Taylor Swift – The Tortured Poets Department.
No doubt it was a momentous moment Sabrina was an opener on Taylor's massive The Eras Tour as she has always spoken highly of her mentor.
Shakira was another big winner as she was presented with Best Latin Pop Album by her pal Jennifer Lopez.
No doubt two of music's biggest stars had to be honored on music's biggest night as Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars earned Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Die With A Smile.
Doechii kicked off the show with a major upset as they earned the first gramophone in the Best Rap Album category over a field including Eminem.
The 2025 Grammys were hosted by Trevor Noah for the fifth consecutive year and held at LA's Crypto.com Arena.
The show raised funds to support fire relief efforts after the devastation caused by the LA blazes which began on January 7 in Pacific Palisades.
Winners were chosen by the roughly 13,000 singers, songwriters, producers, engineers and others who make up the Recording Academy.
