Taylor Swift and Cynthia Erivo share a lighthearted moment at the 2025 Grammys, leading to viral videos

Taylor Swift and Cynthia Erivo shared a laugh-worthy moment at the 2025 Grammy Awards, sparking a viral video that had fans talking. During host Trevor Noah’s opening monologue on February 2, the two stars were seen squeezed into a single chair, laughing and reacting to Noah’s jokes.

The moment quickly caught attention as Swift, ever the good sport, held Erivo’s finger—an apparent nod to a popular moment from their Wicked press tour. The scene was so charming that it captured the attention of viewers across social media platforms, with many fans expressing delight over the duo’s camaraderie.

However, it was later revealed that the real reason behind their shared seat had nothing to do with planned antics. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner, Erivo had arrived late to the event and was searching for her seat when Swift, ever the gracious host, waved her over. Swift simply scooted over to make room for the Wicked star, allowing her to settle in beside her.

Gardner shared the behind-the-scenes moment on X (formerly Twitter), captioning the video: “Late arrival for Wicked star Cynthia Erivo who is accompanied by an escort to table joining Taylor Swift who waves her over. #Grammys Trevor Noah still hosting as she sneaks over.”

Despite being nominated for six Grammy Awards this year, Swift didn’t win any, but her good-natured moment with Erivo helped make the evening memorable for fans. The sight of these two celebrated stars enjoying such a fun, spontaneous moment only added to the charm of the night, proving that sometimes, the most genuine moments don’t need to be planned.
