I mean, let's be real, she was going to be walking around at the Grammys. There isn't much theatrical aspects or dance to tackle while performing Style.
It's just exposure for the single.

I don't think she would have ever performed Style if she would have performed. Since the only thing she is nominated for is "Shake It Off" I could have seen the Grammy's pushing HARD for her to perform that, and Taylor not wanting to so she just said, "screw it."

Yeah, I have a very strong feeling that Taylor not performing at the Grammys isn't just because she needed a break/to prep for her tour.

Taylor has performed twice during album release eras at the beginning.
2009 Grammys Fearless Nov.2008 Taylor performed "Fifteen" with Miley Cyrus 2013 Grammys Red Oct.2012 Taylor performed WANEGBT together to open the show.
The last era she didn't perform was "Speak Now" back in 2011 and the "Speak Now" tour started around Grammys time in 2011 so she didn't attend.
Her next performance is on SNL 40 on February 15th and since the show is in NYC,There is a good chance she could perform "Welcome To New York" at the event just because it is Saturday Night Live in New York City.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. "Style" is blowing up already and has a major SNL performance and music video to come. She is nominated this year but only for a lead single. I'm sure she'll perform next year when 1989 and "Blank Space"/"Style"/"Out of the Woods" are up for everything. She performed last year, two years ago, 3 years ago, 5 years ago, 6 years ago. She's also going to be there (they'll play "Style" when she walks out to present Best New Artist) and will probably get more camera time than anyone besides Sam Smith since she'll be dancing like a maniac to every performer.
Side note - will the cameras cut to her dancing/singing along to either of Kanye's performances?

Maybe then with Riri she can dance! From my understanding, Kanye is doing "FourFiveSeconds" with Rihanna and Paul and then separately debuting a new song.

I want her to stay with Scott. She has the best deal in the business, simply because her dad owns part of Big Machine and started it when they were still small and they've grown so much because of Taylor so I can only imagine how much more powerful/beneficial her next deal with them would be. Not to mention, Scott has done wonders for her in positioning her as the definitive artist of our generation. He's very forward thinking, especially with marketing campaigns for album releases, and Taylor will ALWAYS be his biggest priority as opposed to another major label. As big as she is, major labels tend to lose focus because they have so many artists to look after.
Taylor + Scott 4lfye tbh.

Why Taylor Swift May Soon Be Able to Stop Cover Songs on Spotify TooOn Thursday morning, the U.S. Copyright Office released a 245-page review of the music licensing regime with some bold proposals. It's not beach reading season, though, so it's understandable why the tome hasn't triggered a mass frenzy just yet. But wait! The government has just suggested a change that would make it possible for Taylor Swift not only to forbid her own works from appearing on Spotify, but stop those covering her there (see: this duo) too. U.S. Copyright Office Releases Proposals for Fundamentals of Music Copyright Many artists are quite fine with cover versions of their songs, but not all. Some might want more money, while others are just philosophical. Perhaps the most famous anti-cover control freak is Prince, who stirred up a bit of discussion a few years ago by saying, "A lot of times, people think I'm doing Sinead O'Connor's song or Chaka Khan's song when in fact I wrote those songs." Well, the U.S. Copyright Office has now basically recommended that Prince should be able to stop cover versions of his songs from being posted on YouTube or being sold on iTunes. The name of the game is Section 115(a)(2) of the U.S. Copyright Act, which provides a compulsory license for those making cover versions. The U.S. Copyright Office wants to shake up Section 115 -- and, all the way on page 166 of the report, it attempts to offer a compromise to those who have heard just too many versions of Leonard Cohen's "Hallellujah." Taylor Swift Catalog Removed From Spotify Specifically, the Copyright Office recommends that songwriters or their publishers still won't be able to stop cover songs in certain formats -- presumably physical compact discs, broadcast radio and live concerts -- but could stop covers from being posted on interactive (otherwise known as on-demand) sites or download sites. (The proposal might also give a non-interactive site like Pandora one advantage over Spotify.) Here's what the Copyright Office writes: "With respect to cover recordings, the Office recommends an approach whereby those who seek to re?record songs could still obtain a license to do so, including in physical formats. But the dissemination of such recordings for interactive new media uses, as well as in the form of downloads, would be subject to the publisher's ability to opt out of the compulsory regime. Thus, a publisher's choice to negotiate interactive streaming and DPD rights for its catalog of songs would include the ability to authorize the dissemination of cover recordings by those means. Or, put another way, where the publisher had opted out, someone who produced a cover recording would need to obtain a voluntary license to post the song on an interactive streaming or download service (just as would someone who wished to offer streams or downloads of the original recording of that work)."

...so that article has nothing to do with Taylor (more so all artists in general), but they just put her name in the title to get more clicks and her relationship with Spotify?
When did Billboard become so sensationalist?

Also, officially crosses the 6 million mark worldwide. Probably another week or two before 1989 passes Red in total sales (it's at about 6.15 million).

I see this topping out at 7.5M. I think 1 more million in the US is totally possible.
That'd be huge.

Most publications are singling Taylor as the top contender to win Record Of The Year at the Grammy's. After much thought, the main difference between ROTY and SOTY is that Record awards the artist, and song awards, well, the song. Record also goes to producers, writers, etc.
Max Martin is going to be sitting right next to Taylor according to the seating charts.
Y'all if Taylor really does win ROTY... :'(

Taylor upsetting Sam Smith at the Grammys would be awesome. Hope it happens. "Shake It Off" over "Stay With Me". Wow.

SOTY awards the songwriters You're right. So if Taylor were to win, I feel like she'd win ROTY, especially since the voting period was during the 1989 release push. And her album was extremely well received. We'll see, I just think there's a bigger possibility than what people think. At this point, I think the only category Sam has in the bag is Best New Artist. And I also think that the Grammys sitting Max Martin next to Taylor is a very good sign.
