Celine Dion makes SHOCK appearance at Grammys 2024 amid battle with incurable stiff-person syndrome – as she presents award to Taylor Swift

Celine Dion made a shock appearance at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday – amid her battle with incurable stiff-person syndrome.

The star, 55, who has stepped away from her singing career in light of her health woes, was visibly emotional as she walked onstage with the support of eldest son Rene-Charles Angelil, 23, to cheers and a standing ovation and to present Album of the Year.

She said: ‘Thank you, all! I love you right back. You look beautiful. When I say I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart.

‘Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world.

‘And now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends Diana Ross and Sting presented to me 27 years ago. These are the outstanding nominees for album of the year.’

Celine then announced Swift’s acclaimed album Midnights had won the award – making Grammy history as she won the award for the fourth time.

Celine looked incredible in a terracotta coat, chiffon dress and glittering jewelry as she was helped onto stage.

Swift became the first person to win the accolade four times and excitingly made her way to the stage at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Dion handed her the award, but fans pointed out that Swift didn’t acknowledge her and didn’t make eye contact, quickly looking back to celebrate the moment with her collaborators instead.
