Taylor Swift Canceled Planned Grammy Performance Over Sexism Allegations

Taylor Swift canceled a “surprise” performance of her song “The Man” at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards amid allegations of sexism swirling around the Recording Academy.

According to Page Six, Swift’s appearance on the show had been kept quiet, but insiders say she was set to appear on stage to perform her feminist anthem, which would have packed a powerful punch, given the current climate and claims of “rampant sexism” at the Academy from ousted CEO Deborah Dugan.

Swift is nominated for three awards this year, including song of the year for “Lover,” and is still expected to attend the ceremony but just won’t perform.
