Bebe Rexha recalled at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards that Taylor Swift reached out to support her after designers refused to dress her for the 2019 Grammys because of her size. Rexha said Swift’s kindness made her feel she belonged when few others in the industry contacted her. Rexha had criticized designers for excluding women who wear sizes 8 and up, saying they deserve to feel beautiful and find clothes for major events. She was nominated for two Grammys that year.
