Céline Dion Details Her Emotions as She Gave Taylor Swift Her Album of the Year Grammy
When Céline Dion made her big return to the Grammys in February to present the night’s biggest honor to Taylor Swift, the superstar was overcome with emotion.
“It was an honor for me that they thought of me to present to Taylor Swift. It was [her] fourth [time] winning this award, which is exceptional,” Dion tells PEOPLE exclusively in its latest cover story.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer, 56, was accompanied onstage by her 23-year-old son, René-Charles, and having him nearby helped keep her calm.
Since her SPS diagnosis in August of 2022, Dion — who shares her health journey in a new documentary, I Am: Céline Dion (streaming globally June 25 on Prime Video) — says she has largely stayed at home in her most comfortable sweats while undergoing treatment.
“Now I have heels and a dress that has a big opening on the leg, and I’m not sure if my legs are ready at that time,” she recalls of the Grammys. “It was a lot.”
But as she received a standing ovation from the audience, Dion felt right at home.
