February 2nd 2014 vs. February 8th 2015



"I turn on the radio and I get to hear music that we don't have in America yet. Unbelievable, incredible songs... Artists that I become OBSESSED with and then 6 months later they're HUGE in America and I get to go 'I heard that in London 6 months ago, so...'. This song and this artist is my ABSOLUTE new favourite. And I think you will be just as excited as I am when I tell you Sam Smith is here tonight to play for you." - introducing Sam to perform with her on The Red Tour, February 2nd 2014

1 year she's introducing him to perform with her while he's mostly unknown, the next she's handing him a Grammy for Best New Artist.

Originally posted by muddysquirrel Getting Taylor's co-sign seems to be so major for artists trying to break out. What kind of power.

Originally posted by Mike91 lmao, Sam was getting a **** ton of exposure around this time, even without Taylor. La La La was beginning to take off and so was Latch. SNL is what made him blow up, not Taylor.
