Taylor Swift lookalike TikToker claims she was uninvited from Grammys, sparking speculation and criticism

This story was originally published on Passionfruit.

The Grammys took place on Sunday with many creators in attendance, but one creator who wasn’t there was Ashley Leechin. The TikTok star, who creates content as a Taylor Swift superfan and doppelgänger, said she landed in Los Angeles for the ceremony that Friday but that the invite to “walk the red carpet” was rescinded the moment she stepped off the plane.

Back on Feb. 1, Leechin claimed in a TikTok that she “partnered” with the Grammys, only to stitch the video two days later of her looking despondent, standing in the airport with her luggage with the caption: “’It’s Hollywood … it happens all the time,’  they said … well I just landed in Los Angeles but OKAY.”
