The pop star was nominated in seven categories and won three awards: Album of the Year (1989), Best Pop Vocal Album (1989) and Best Music Video ("Bad Blood" feat. Kendrick Lamar). Taylor marked the occasion by hitting up a number of after-parties with her date for the night, Selena Gomez. Joined by Taylor's brother and parents, they first hit up Universal Music Group's 2016 Grammys after-party, held inside The Theater at Ace Hotel. "Everyone lost their minds when they walked in and swarmed the area," a source tells E!

Later that evening, Taylor met up with her boyfriend, Calvin Harris, at Hyde in L.A. "He was so excited for her," a source says of the DJ, who skipped the show to work on new music.

According to an eyewitness, Taylor arrived at HYDE with Calvin, Lorde and Ellie Goulding in tow. "She was super social, saying 'hi' to everyone throughout the party. They hung out in the main dance floor area for a bit at a table before making their way to the VIP section in the back. Calvin was overheard talking about how proud of Taylor he was." Taylor and her boyfriend shared "a kiss here and there," the eyewitness tells E! News exclusively. "The way they looked at each other said it all."
In addition to Taylor and her crew, HYDE was packed with tons of A-list celebrities. Ariana arrived just before The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco and went straight to the VIP section, while Joe entered the club around 11:30 p.m. and headed to his reserved area. The "Cake by the Ocean singer" was later seen standing on a table, where he proceeded to dance and take "a lot of photos with fans." Cody Simpsonwas seated at a table opposite Joe—interesting placement, given that the two singers share a mutual ex in Gigi. The Australian pop star "was seen dancing with a group of blonde girls." Meanwhile, The Weeknd and Bella arrived around midnight and went straight to the VIP section. The two "were only talking to themselves," a source tells E! News, adding that they "were in their own world."
Taylor and her crew bounced around 2 a.m.
"They were some of the last people to leave the party," an eyewitness says.
