The “Good 4 U” singer, 19, was posing backstage at the Sunday, April 3, awards show with her trophies piled in her arms when one fell. The California native was shocked when the award fell in two.
Swift, 32 years old, had to balance four of the statuettes in each hand while taking photos at the 52nd Grammy Awards. The “Blank Space” singer sported an off-the-shoulder gown on the red carpet at the time, while Rodrigo looked just as sparkly this year in a black dress, matching opera-length gloves and double chokers.
Sunday’s ceremony marked the actress’ first Grammys appearance, and she gushed to Entertainment Tonight about how “genuinely so excited” she was to watch the other performers. “If I won one, that would just be something I couldn’t even fathom,” Rodrigo said before the show.
