Taylor Swift gave her first performance since marrying Travis Kelce, and she did it at the Grammy Museum's Icon Sessions — a twenty-year retrospective, a long conversation with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., and then a surprise mashup at the flower-painted piano from the Eras Tour. She wove "I Knew It, I Knew You" from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack into "August" and "All Too Well," and reworked both endings so they landed somewhere hopeful instead of where they usually land.
