Taylor Swift revealed why she wasn’t at the ceremony Sunday (Nov. 22) night … and that’s because she’s re-recording albums one through five!

 

Accepting her award in a pre-recorded video, Taylor shares,“You guys have been beyond wonderful all the years of my career, but especially this one when we’ve been so far apart.  The reason I’m not there tonight is I’m re-recording all of my old music in the studio we originally recorded it.”
