Taylor Swift and Jay-Z are celebrating Beyoncé's major victory at the Grammys!
The 35-year-old pop singer and the 55-year-old rap icon were seen raising their champagne glasses in a toast after 43-year-old Beyoncé secured the prestigious Album of the Year award for her 2024 release, Cowboy Carter, during the 2025 Grammy Awards held on Sunday, February 2. Taylor was also observed offering congratulatory remarks to Beyoncé’s spouse, who stood at an adjacent table, with both sharing smiles and cheers as they clinked glasses.
A video capturing the heartwarming moment swiftly spread across social media, earning plenty of admiration from fans.
“Taylor raising a toast with Jay Z for Beyoncé’s win! Absolutely amazing!” one user commented.
“Jay Z and Taylor Swift sharing a toast,” another fan wrote, adding a crying emoji. “#grammys tonight was incredibly special.”
Another observer noted that Taylor seemed to say “Finally” to Jay-Z, who tied the knot with Beyoncé in 2008, in response to the singer's triumph.
“Taylor toasting with Jay-Z and saying ‘finally’ about Beyoncé’s album of the year win,” they posted along with a tearful emoji.
Taylor had also been nominated for Album of the Year for her 2024 project, The Tortured Poets Department, but didn't secure a win despite being up in six categories.

Many fans saw Taylor’s interactions with Beyoncé and Jay-Z as a “full-circle moment,” given the “Fortnight” singer’s well-known history at award shows with the “Single Ladies” star.
In 2009, during the MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, claiming that Beyoncé deserved the award instead. Nevertheless, Beyoncé distanced herself from Kanye’s actions by inviting Taylor back on stage to complete her speech after she won her own award.
Reflecting on that moment, Beyoncé said, “I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child. It was one of the most thrilling moments of my life. So, I’d like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.”
Even though fans of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé had longstanding conflicts, the two artists have consistently supported and maintained their friendship. In 2023, they attended each other’s concert film premieres, with Taylor expressing her gratitude for Beyoncé’s support.
In October 2023, following Beyoncé’s attendance at the premiere of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Taylor wrote on social media, “I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence. She’s taught me and other artists to challenge norms and break boundaries. Her generosity, resilience, and versatility have been a beacon for my career, and her presence at the premiere felt like a fairytale.”
