Bebe Rexha recalls Taylor Swift's support during 2019 Grammy dress controversy

During the 2026 Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, singer Bebe Rexha reflected on the support she received from Taylor Swift following a difficult experience at the 2019 Grammy Awards.

Rexha revealed that during the 2019 awards cycle, multiple fashion designers refused to dress her for the Grammys due to her body size. At the time, Rexha expressed her frustration publicly, criticizing the industry for suggesting that women who are not runway sizes are not beautiful.

Rexha noted that Swift reached out to her personally to offer assistance, a gesture she described as deeply kind and meaningful. Rexha emphasized that receiving support from an artist of Swift’s stature helped her feel a sense of belonging and inclusion in an industry that can often feel exclusionary.
