What we saw at the Grammys
One of the most interesting things that we saw and wanted to share with you is how Taylor Swift was attacked on Tiktok, Instagram, and Twitter for what Celine Dion’s fans saw as “Disrespect” as Taylor didn’t acknowledge her at all and took the Grammy from her with no eye contact at all.
Many people across the internet view this as a way of Taylor being rude because it is very important to acknowledge others who present you your Grammy and on top of that Celine has an illness which makes people think that it was stressful for her. Taylor and Celine took a picture to address the matter backstage to show that there was no bad blood between them she was just caught in the moment and forgot.
One of the most important things that stood out to us as people who watched the Grammys at home was how female singers walked up on the stage to receive their Grammy’s but no males.
Does this mean anything at all, does it symbolize something?
Does this mean female singers are much better than male?
Do fans love female singers more than male?
One can think like that but in this case, we just think female singers are much more enjoyable than male and others have their opinions and we respect that.
Side Note- We would like our readers to be pleased about the winners that won, not everyone has to like a particular person at the end of the day, it’s all just entertainment that happens and goes away.
