lol Jay has beefed over dumber things than that. I liked the line about people not belonging in the category because it was a little glimmer of Hova up there, little reminder of who they were giving an award to.

I thought it was pretty lame to give JayZ an honorary award in a year when her very good album got 100% snubbed in nominations, so I'm glad he hinted at it.

The snub was last year, when she lost AOTY to Harry Styles

That's not the order in which it happened.Correct – it was after her first win that she declared her fans were responsible, and here’s a surprise for them…It was after her AOTY win that she didn’t even bother to make eye contact w Celine Dion (or acknowledge her congratulations) and she grabbed the award out of her hands…

i personally am sad that Jay's comments have created such a distraction from the solemnity and importance of the Dr Dre Global Impact Award

Thought Dua Lipa was great, Joni was awesome, Billie, Tracy, and Burbank Boy as well. I don't think U2 was actually live...that almost looked like CGI. Travis Scott was a big zero. Cool to see boygenius win. Was hoping they'd sneak Mimi Parker into the memoriam but that was so unlikely.

I was trying to explain the Kanye-Taylor controversy to my 9 yo this morning and it felt like giving a lecture about the Cuban Missile Crisis or something.

Kanye Interrupts Speech At Grammies?
― imago, Monday, 5 February 2024 16:03 (three months ago) link
Kanye interrupting Taylor leading to her winning a fourth (and, next year, a fifth) album of the year is a true butterfly effect
― badpee pooper (Eric H.), Monday, 5 February 2024 16:06 (three months ago) link
Kanye goes back in time to fix his mistake out of spite and instead goes to the wrong year and accidentally interrupts Jamiroquai

I watched the clip. I don’t like defending Taylor Swift but the internet is being overtly dramatic as usual. Yeah Lana del Rey seemed like she didn’t want to go with her and she was probably torn about her album or nominated songs not getting the deserved recognition m, but whatever they’re friends irl and Lana did participate in the album. If it weren’t for the recent rule changes she’d have won a grammy for the album too. I don’t see Taylor being terrible for bringing her along.
The Celine Dion thing is also being dramatized and Taylor was clearly overwhlemed, but it does seem like misfire for someone who is usually so calculated and in control of her image.
Still not as bad as it seems. I think there has been so much overexposure of her in the past year that backlash for any little mistake is inevitable at this point.

I seemingly agree with the losing nominees that announcing your new album during your is pretty eyeroll worthy. Just tweet the announcement after the show ffs.
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Monday, 5 February 2024 16:53 (three months ago) link
Agreed, it's pointless to get mad at her for the LDR or Celine things. Get mad at her for being a bad actress trying to appear surprised that she won the award at all

I hadn't read any commentary... are ppl saying she shouldn't have brought Lana up(?) Glad others picked up on the Celine thing, though...

i'm pretty forgiving w/ Taylor, but even i think announcing the album during an award speech is cringey - especially for someone at her level. can't really fault someone for whom the platform actually matters w/r/t getting the word out, but that's not her, obviously.
― alpine static, Monday, 5 February 2024 17:17 (three months ago) link
Yes, not to clutch pearls at violating the sanctity of the Grammy Awards, but it felt remarkably class-less
― jake morgendorffer core (morrisp), Monday, 5 February 2024 17:23 (three months ago) link
and, to Eric H.'s point, awkward. like she knew she really shouldn't / didn't want to do it.

xxxp Well, yeah, I was already pissed at Lana being shut out of every category she was nommed in (unless you count, in a sideways way, Antonoff's Producer of the Year award, which I suppose covers both her and Taylor's albums... big win for the Ant-man)
― jake morgendorffer core (morrisp), Monday, 5 February 2024 17:28 (three months ago) link
Taylor just does her thing I guess, for all her industry connections she feels separate from all of it, just speaking to her fans only and no one else in the room. I have zero opinion on her really, except I hope she keeps elevating the blood pressure of the MAGAs.

Wow a globally famous recording artist is promoting a record, yikes
I mean, what's next?
Perhaps a globally famous record label will purchase advertising
Or perhaps, at next week's sporting contest, a brand of soda might promote itself
