Despite being a plant, Eilish is much bigger than Meg. Why would she feel the need to apologize?

That song wasnt even poppin like that though. I was fine with her cleanin up last year. She had a big year and "Bad Guy" was legit dope. She was chillin this year and won the big award. Just seems off to me.

I just don't understand it. This isn't a Macklemore situation where he was the clear cut inferior artist.

I'd honestly vastly prefer to listen to Billie Eyelash than meg and I'm not a big fan of her at all.

Megan is just garbage. Literally nonsense rhymes about her p*ssy every song. Just terrible.

Even if Beyonce won that award it woulda been dirty. Like I said, this was supposed to be the Weeknd's coronation and it was over some petty shyt. The major awards just have this asterisk over it (not the fault of those who won) but this was the night where the Weeknd walked away with 8 Grammys and we reminisce on how he was making House of Balloons 10 years ago and we marvel at how far he's come. Bittersweet evening.


I can't really hate on who won in the rap/R&B related categories though.
What was the petty shyt that caused The Weeknd to get shut out the nominations

how does this not ruin the grammy’s rep? To refuse to acknowledge his album because he wanted to perform at the super bowl is crazy

My friend said that Weeknd wasn't nominated for anything because the Academy knew Taylor was winning AOTY and didn't want any uproar. They were protecting him. :troll:

But with that in mind, I thought this was going to be Dua's night. She was one of the most promoted artists in the weeks leading up to this show. It's like what Eminem said: They were dropping hints that Dua was going to take home everything and she only won one award (Best Pop Album). What doesn't make sense is that Taylor was also up for Best Pop Album, so wouldn't they have split the pop vote and AOTY ends up going to someone else?


There was absolutely NO way Taylor Swift was going to lose AOTY. Even if Taylor and Dua split the Pop votes then Country voters and probably Folk/Americana voters were going to rally behind Taylor. Folklore was THE most critically acclaimed album of her career, was the highest selling album of the year, AND on top of that she dropped ANOTHER ALBUM right when Grammy voting started, so she owned the narrative.


Taylor’s coronation was a forgone conclusion

That’s what that shyt is about?
Yup, and it wound up burning them altogether because the Grammys got pushed back because of Covid. They coulda had him nominated and given the circumstances, he coulda did both shows. Everybody woulda walked away happy. What makes it worse is that they haven't done this to anyone else. They're not gonna curve Taylor Swift next year if she does the Superbowl but doesn't wanna do the Grammys.
