Bebe Rexha Says Taylor Swift Reached Out After Designers Refused to Dress Her for the Grammys: 'I Thought That Was Really Kind'

Bebe Rexha recalled a special moment she shared with the one and only Taylor Swift.

Ahead of the 2026 MTV VMAs, where Swift was being honored with a special award, Rexha revealed the "Shake It Off" crooner reached out to her in the middle of a crisis around the time of the 2019 Grammy Awards.

“I remember when I had that whole Grammys situation when I couldn’t find a dress, and she reached out to me because we’re the same age, and I thought that was really, really kind of her,” Rexha spilled to a reporter at the September 25 awards show.

She continued, “Nobody really reached out. Some people did, but for her at such a high level to make me feel like I belonged was really, really nice.”

In 2019, Rexha was nominated for Best New Artist and Best Country Duo/Group Performance, but she couldn’t keep her thoughts off of her outfit. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Rexha expressed her disappointment in some designers rejecting to give her a dress for the Grammys because of her size.

“So I finally get nominated at the Grammys, and it’s like the coolest thing ever,” she expressed. “And a lot of times artists will go and talk to designers, and they’ll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet. So I had my team hit out a lot of designers, and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I’m too big.”

The singer stood up for women who wore the same size as her. “You’re saying all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful and that they cannot wear your dresses. So to all the people who said I’m thick, and I can’t wear your dress, f--- you; I don’t want to wear your f------ dresses.”

In the Instagram caption, her defense continued, “If you don’t like my fashion style or my music, that’s one thing. But don’t say you can’t dress someone that isn’t a runway size. Empower women to love their bodies instead of making girls and women feel less than by their size. We are beautiful any size! Small or large!”

After her post, designer August Getty offered to make her a gown. “You are beautiful! Every woman of every size is beautiful! Just let me know when I should start sketching,” Getty wrote to Rexha.
