She walked unassisted and remained standing in front of the crowd while Swift slowly made her way to the stage to accept the night’s biggest honor.
The internet blew up as Dion’s loyal fans took note of the moment.
“We must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives, and to people all around the world,” Dion said.

Stiff person syndrome is described as being a “rare acquired neurological disorder that most often causes progressive muscle stiffness (rigidity) and repeated episodes of painful muscle spasms,” according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders.
Dion continues to fight the disease, which has forced her to cancel her tour and put her entire musical career on an indefinite pause. (RELATED: Trevor Noah Drops An Epstein Punchline At Grammy Awards)
