Yeahhh!!!
Stevie was great , thou i thought she was a little nervous at the beginning.
She sounded and looked really great. I think that Taylor didnt match on Rhiannon at some point and she was a little too loud compared. Okay i tried to listen to Stevie
Rhiannon should have been longer ! ^^
Still awesome to see her

From looking around Twitter, the general consensus seems to be that Stevie was good and Taylor Swift was baaaad.

Some funny Tweets I loled at -

HoorayCookies RT @vanillabean45: Stevie Nicks should have been like "Imma letchu finish, but you are really out of key"

MadsKay: Ok so I actually don't dislike Taylor Swift. HOWEVER: that was reeeally off key, and Stevie Nicks singing backup? Not ok.

homeskillet108 : Stevie Nicks is soooooooooo fabulous. Why did they have to ruin the moment with with Taylor Swift???????????????????????????????

mtrr9669 : I still can't believe Stevie Nicks sang backup for Taylor Swift...I'm in Grammy shock.

thegsides : Taylor Swift - please get in any key, we are not picky and Stevie Nicks by herself is plenty good enough. Why did you kill her with TS?

AshWantstoRock : And....taylor swift sucks. Stevie Nicks sang Taylor's song better than Taylor did. The end. Goodnight.

emmcubed : I sense a great disturbance in the Force, as if a million voices cried out in terror as Taylor Swift sang "Rhiannon" with Stevie Nicks.

shannonstacey: Grammy tip: If you totally suck live, you might want to reconsider getting on stage with Stevie Nicks.

JillByerly : Taylor Swift you disgraced Stevie Nicks at the #grammys! Who allowed you to share the stage with her?

Aaand

AnneNicholas : oh god someone please turn taylor's mic down. i am embarassed for her, does she really think that stevie nicks is on backup vocals?

So yeah, I'm just pleased the general consensus seems to be that Stevie was good and Taylor was awful. I'd prefer it if they were both brilliant, but I'd rather Taylor be getting all the hate than Stevie, really >_>

I liked it myself though, I thought both were fabulous. Needed more Rhiannon though.

D.I.: Wait, Ryan Seacrest on a non-Idol broadcast? Nobody tell Simon Cowell! He’s here to introduce Taylor Swift, who is playing a guitar made out of a wicker chair, apparently.

I’m glad they engineered all her victories to justify the song selection.

J.C.: O.K., this is easily the worst Taylor Swift single ever. Like an funnyordie parody of Taylor Swift.

D.I.: Sad thing is, all the teens in the audience are thinking. Why are they singing about Rihanna?

J.C.: This explains the draping of Taylor Swift’s sleeves, at least.

D.I.: Who is out of tune? WHO???

J.C.: Stevie Nicks is trying very very very very very hard not to outsing Taylor.

D.I.: She is succeeding beyond her wildest dreams.

J.C.: So who brings out Lindsay Buckingham - Flo Rida?

D.I.: Yes, Stevie, get back on the tambourine. Away from the mic.

J.C.: Stevie’s having more fun than she’s comfortable admitting on this alt-version of “You Belong With Me.” I bet Chris Thile is MAD right now.

D.I.: At least she will some day provide Jennifer Coolidge a role to play in the VH1 Stevie Nicks biopic.

Flo Rida and Liddy
i LOVE this post!!!!!!1

Totally Agree!!!

[DeeGeMe]

My favorite tweet was from someone who wanted the Grammy's to immediately rescind Taylor's Grammys' and give them to Pink instead for dangling from the roof a la Cirque De Soleil earlier in the night. LOL.

That is all refreshing to hear! Thanks for sharing. It's stuff like this that makes me consider getting Twitter! ha ha ha

I was so embarrassed for Taylor. She was really struggling with the harmonies. Poor Stevie too - it must be really frustrating to sing with someone so off key. The way she was looking at Taylor during Rhiannon, it was like she was trying to will her not to suck. But sadly, that was impossible.

some more twitter posts:

sylvadine:
Taylor Swift, you're cute and Imma let you finish, but Stevie Nicks was the best singer on that stage at all times.

Sowkrdan:
I think Stevie Nicks can only harmonize with people she's slept with.

JackWingfield
There will be another Taylor Swift next year. There will NEVER be another Stevie Nicks.

mobios
Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks together is like mixing Capri Sun with heroin.

katespencer
Stevie Nicks is schooling Taylor Swift in the art of sequin wearing. Also, singing in key.

[addiejean]

Sometimes I don't appreciate Stevie's voice very much anymore because it has deteriorated since her hey day...

Well now I can see how much music has deteriorated since the 70s.

[1sttimelongtime]

I cant wait to hear what Howard Stern will say about this debacle tomorrow morning.

[firefly15]

also, "taylor swift/stevie nicks" and "waddy wachtel" are trending topics on twitter. at least her name is getting out there...

[diamondsnake]

Well that was pretty much a let down. Stevie didn't get to do anything. And she looked good- but I really wish she would have come out twirling, wearing a top hat and a cape. And I wish that they would have let her end Rhiannon in a more rocking way (ala Live in Boston or Soundstage), but I am well aware that this was not really the arena to do that. It was more about Taylor.

It just sucks that the performance was pretty abysmal because this could have been awesome if done differently and maybe even scored Stevie a few new fans.

Regarding the comments above, I didn't think Stevie looked "old", I just wish they would have done her hair wavy like Soundstage and maybe had her wear something differently. Next to Taylor's teenage skin, Stevie just looked a little soft, but that is better than stretched.
