Celine Dion not only shocked everyone by performing unexpectedly backstage at the Grammy Awards, but she also made a surprise appearance to present Album of the Year.
Dion, 55, has maintained a low profile since disclosing her condition in December 2022 in order to combat stiff person syndrome.
In the video, Sonyaé—who is up for a Grammy—and Dion dance to the beautiful harmony of their voices.
The singer of “My Heart Will Go On” made her first appearance in public since November, when she attended an NHL game with her kids. She also made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards.
Although there are rumors that Dion’s voice isn’t getting better in a way that would allow her to perform or record again, it appears that she can still hit the notes that we are all familiar with.
After disclosing her illness, she postponed the remainder of her tour dates, raising doubts about her ability to give a complete performance.
Celine, you have our undying love and support.
Here’s what this loop on your shirt is for
The subtle details of clothing often hide interesting stories. Take a look at the back of your shirts, ever noticed that little loop? You’ll often find it on dress shirts for men, seemingly inconspicuous but with a couple of intriguing purposes you might not have known about.
While dress shirts are typically part of more formal attire, they can also be dressed down for a casual look when paired with the right pants and accessories. But that loop on the back? It wasn’t just arbitrarily placed there.
Originally, it was a thoughtful addition for those hitting the gym frequently. Its purpose? To make hanging the shirt on a hanger a breeze, especially when you’re on the go and need to transition from one place to another without fussing about where to put your shirt.
Interestingly, that little loop had a flirtatious function too. In the past, it was used as a subtle signal of relationship status. If the loop was out and visible, it supposedly indicated that the person was taken, hence not needing to hang around looking for a place to hang their shirt. However, over time, its significance has faded away, becoming just another mundane part of shirt design.
Fashion trends may have evolved dramatically over the last century, but some elements remain unchanged. Men’s clothing, in particular, holds onto certain timeless features. Case in point: the back-of-the-shirt loop.
Often termed a “locker loop” or even a whimsical “fairy loop”, it’s stitched onto most Oxford or button-down shirts. Its primary purpose? Hanging up the shirt. Legend has it that these loops trace back to U.S. sailors who used them to hang their shirts aboard ships.
During the 1960s, they became an integral part of mainstream menswear, especially on college campuses as part of the “preppy” look. Gant, a clothing manufacturer, is often credited with popularizing this button-down style across Ivy League campuses. The man behind the brand initially introduced this shirt design to Yale University’s shop for male students, and from there, its popularity spread far and wide.
