The spectrum of primordial gravitational waves (GWs), especially its tilt n {sub T} , carries significant information about the primordial universe. Combining recent aLIGO and Planck2015+BK14 data, we find that the current limit is n {sub T} =0.016{sup +0.614}{sub −0.989} at 95% C.L. We also estimate the impacts of Einstein Telescope and LISA on constraining n {sub T} . Moreover, based on the effective field theory of cosmological perturbations, we make an attempt to confront some models of early universe scenarios, which produce blue-tilted GWs spectrum ( n {sub T} {sub >0}), with the corresponding datasets.
