I'm nervous she's doing SIO and paying Style dust. :'(
But she's probably going to perform Style on SNL, so at least there's that.

Taylor is doing the SNL 40th Anniversary show. Hope she performs there also. and it is more than an ""appearance".
Grammy announcement hope so. We are less than a week until the show. If there is another "Shake It Off" performance,I wouldn't be surprised at all.At least we can hope for "Style" at the Brit Awards in less than a month.

She's probably performing Blank Space at the Brits like she did with IKYWT. There hasn't been a BS performance in Europe yet.
22 teas. :'(

Itunes UK always releases the Brit Awards performances on Itunes in good quality to listen to.At least we get the "Blank Space" live version in our ipods. The IKYWT Brit Awards Itunes version never gets old to listen to.
I guess that is one brightside to that :)

Hey guys! A lot of you have been asking about the Grammys this week and I just wanted to give you an update. I’m really excited to be nominated for 3 Grammys this year and even more excited that I’ll be there having a dance party/rage fest in the audience. I will also be presenting the award for Best New Artist. Since my whole life is wrapped up and entangled in the planning of The 1989 World Tour right now, I’m not going to be performing on the Grammys this year. I need this time to focus only on the tour. I hope I’ll see you out there at one of the stadiums this summer having a rage fest of your own! Love you. Taylor What the fuck.

Haim must be winning BNA if she's presenting.

It could be Sam winning too. True but I'm certain she's closer to HAIM and they're opening for her tour so it'd be more poignant for her to present them with the award. The Grammys can be quite strategic when it comes to selecting presenters for certain categories. Of course, this is just my hunch.

The last performance was the Ryan Seacrest Presents-Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve on ABC from Times Square. The "Red" era had a lot more promotion around this time of the era to compare between this era and the last one.

Yeah but 1989 had much more promo than Red initially.
I mean, I get it, I really do...it's just that at this point all we are getting are gifs of her dancing. 1989 is at its prime. By next year it will be dead. She's the biggest name in music in the world with the biggest album of the year and this is the biggest night in music...she SHOULD be performing.
Does that mean she won't be promoting any more singles?

I hope there is more promotion to come in the coming months.There is so many events coming up in the next few months;MTV Movie Awards;Billboard Music Awards;Kids Choice Awards..Many places to perform. January 2013 with "Red",Taylor was in France and Spain promoting the album,I remember the concert she did in Paris on a boat.Still great to watch.

If she isn't doing the Grammy's because she's "busy" with the tour, I doubt she's doing anything else. And we all know once the tour is on, she doesn't do anything else.
So I guess this is it LOL.

Katy and Rihanna were just announced as Grammy performers and Beyonce is rumored to be performing as a surprise. Please respect my privacy during this troubling time.

How many people are performing at the f***ing Grammy's?? Can't they just leave it at Madonna and be done with it? Taylor is smart and knows Madonna will slay everyone else. She's just going to sit back, accept her awards, and have a great time w/ Lorde & Sam Smith in the audience.

It's now in my Top 5. Definitely over Style. They better cut to Taylor during Katy's caterwauling.

Yeah Tay knows that this is Sam and Ed's year - she will let them have their 5 minutes and then sweep next year
But we need a performance of Style like RIGHT NOW

I'm also slightly annoyed she's not performing (since she's still going and presenting), but she worked her ass off from the run up to the album all the way up to the end of last year. If she feels like she needs a break from promotion (and she says she still gets nervous with big performances like the Grammys), she more than deserves it.
"Style" will definitely need a video/push soon though. Any single from a 4+ million selling album is going to struggle shifting singles in this day and age, it's kind of a miracle it's doing as well as it is already.

If she isn't performing at the Grammy's, she's not performing anywhere else until, maybe this summer. Once the tour is on the era pretty much dies. The SNL appearance isn't confirmed to be a performance, it could be just a guest spot for all we know. (Personally, I think it would be rude to perform at SNL a week after the Grammy's when she just said she was too busy to perform there)
I mean, I get it, I really do, her schedule has been insane and she's performed/done everything in her power to push 1989...BUT the biggest music event of the year deserves a performance from the biggest artist of the year, ESPECIALLY when literally everyone else is performing. It's just upsetting. This could not only benefit her album but also her current single, which...kind of needs it lbr.
I knew they'd drop the ball after the second single, but I had hoped they'd continue to push the record/singles this time around based on how huge 1989 has been and the success they've achieved with their new marketing approach so far.

Oh come on. Get serious. Sure, Taylor is the biggest thing in music in the US right now, but that doesn't mean she is entitled to a performance spot at every awards show. We can do without another performance of "Shake It Off" and "Style" only needs a music video. "Style" is a strong single and it will do well without any big TV performances. It might not hit #1 on HOT100, but that won't make it any less of a hit. It's only job is to continue supporting the album. Taylor will likely get a performance slot next year when the album gets nominated. It wouldn't look good if the Grammys had the same people performing at the Grammys every year. I know Beyonce is performing again this year, but not her own material. Grammys will have way too many performances without Taylor. It actually looks like artists are being forced to perform duets because there are just too many of them. Also, Taylor's promo until the new year was just overkill. She performed everywhere she could. Give her a break.

I mean, sure, like I said, I understand, but performing at music's biggest night is more impactful than performing at, say...the AMA's, which she did.
I get that she's been everywhere and I get that it's been overkill, but the Grammy's are...the Grammy's. They're not the Billboard Awards, they're not even the VMA's, they're music's biggest night. She's music's biggest star. It just doesn't feel right.

I can see two sides of this discussion. Ultimately, it is disappointing that she won't be there performing especially when she is the biggest thing out there right now. But, I am also hoping that they are NOT seeing this as the end of all 1989 promo. I want her to go 5 singles deep as a minimum so maybe they will have more promo scattered in later in the cd era than she normally has. Then, if the era lasts long enough there is no reason not to expect her to be a HUGE player in next year's awards.

A SNL performance is much less work than a Grammy performance.
