Taylor is known for her award show dancing and given that she had her best friend Abigail Anderson with her, she had the perfect dancing partner with her for the night. Taylor also presented the first award of the night while also introduced one performance as well.
First order of business of the night was presenting Best New Artist. This category contained some of Taylor's close friends including Haim and Sam Smith. Her introduction included a joke at herself after saying "As a former loser of best new artist in 2008, if you do not win this award, its going to be fine, just like shake it off". Taylor lost to Amy Winehouse in 2008 and has clearly proven that you will be just fine. Below, is Taylor's introduction and presenting the award to Sam Smith.
Once Taylor returned to her seat in the front row with Abigail, the dance party commenced. Taylor was seen dancing at various times throughout the night and danced to pretty much everyone who performed. Taylor was seen dancing as the likes of Pharrell and Lady Gaga looked on.
During the night she also said hi to Kanye West. This came after Kanye West almost pulled the same stunt he did to Taylor back in 2008 at the VMA's. Kanye West could be seen going half way up the steps after another artist Beck was awarded Album of the Year to interrupt his speech but then decided against. You would have thought Kanye West would have become a bit smarter in the last 6-7 years but no. Kanye West was once again defending Beyonce as he felt she should have been given Album of the Year.
Later on in the night Taylor came back out on stage to announce the next performer which was Sam Smith who dueted with Annie Lennox for his song Stay With Me.
Taylor was very gracious in her defeats in both Song and Record of the Year. She was the first one to stand up both times. This shows just how kind hearted Taylor is and how she is able to accept both sides of the award shows.
While the Grammys' were on commercial breaks alot goes on that most people don't see. This included talking to Kanye West and surfing Tumblr. While there is nothing new about Taylor being on Tumblr, the fans knew she was going to be on during the commercial breaks.
One fan Jill, who was posting on tumblr while attending the awards caught Taylor's attention and that was enough. Taylor sent her publicist Tree Paine to find her and bring her back stage. This all came as a surprise to Jill and her boyfriend who was with her. They were brought backstage at the Grammys and one of the crew said this was the first time a celebrity had requested a fan be brought back stage in all the years he had worked the Grammys. A full story of how the meeting went down can be found HERE.

1989 has smashed records so far and we know it wasn't eligible for the 2015 Grammys but sure it will be well awarded next year at the 2016 Grammys.
