Taylor Swift cancels her surprise Grammys performance

Variety

Variety reports that Swift "has bowed out of a possible performance on the Grammy Awards program Sunday night just as stealthily as it appeared she might have bowed into it." Swift was never formally confirmed for the show, Variety adds, but her possible appearance was kept secret in case she had to bow out.
