Celine Dion made a surprise appearance on stage at the Grammy Awards 2024 on Sunday evening – leaving fans in utter shock.

The icon, 55, announced in December 2022 that she was taking a career hiatus due to her battle with incurable stiff-person syndrome.

And as she made her emotional comeback and walked onto stage, the singer ‘had the whole room to tears’ at how ‘brave’ and ‘resilient’ she was.

Taking to X, formerly known as twitter, her fans went wild as she graced the Grammys with the support of eldest son Rene-Charles Angelil, 23, to present Taylor Swift with the Album of the Year award.

Some wrote: ‘Celine Dion got the whole room in tears right now. This legend, this queen. My goodness. #GRAMMYs’

On stage, Celine, who dazzled in Tiffany & Co, 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.

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.

However, there appeared to be no ill-feelings as the iconic pair later posed-up happily backstage.

‘Taylor Swift didn’t even hug or acknowledge Celine Dion. Can’t f*****g stand this t**t,’ one upset fan wrote on social media afterwards.

Taylor Swift completely ignoring Celine Dion like she was some trophy model presenter was #GRAMMYS was wild. She’s won this three times and usually such a pro. But to ignore an icon, who is dealing with so much? Yikes.’

‘As someone who has defended Taylor, I can’t defend this. No acknowledgment of Celine whatsoever,’ another added.

The star’s fight to continue her career will be chronicled in new documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.

The hitmaker, announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome – an extremely rare disorder that makes the muscles in the torso and limbs alternate between spasming and being rigid. She revealed she would be stepping away from performing.

The new documentary – captured over more than a year of filming – follows the star as she battles to continue her normal life and career amid her diagnosis – and vows the condition ‘won’t define her’ as she vows to raise awareness.

Dion said in a statement: ‘This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me.

‘As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realized how much I have missed it, of being able to see my fans.
