And given the awkward circumstance she did beautifully!


frankstaturtle

Totally. And her dad isn’t wrong, just tough to know what to do when you’re on stage for your dad saying that lol


ultragoodname

I mean just because you’re not wrong it’s still a weird time to say it. Like Kanye at the 09 MTV awards


frankstaturtle

Def not great, but to be fair, it wasn’t during somebody else accepting an award, so I wouldn’t give it the kanye comparison lol


ultragoodname

Oh god, if it was Kanye he would get on stage after Taylor wins best album then starts the rant


[deleted]

Exactly.  Human shield much.


SyanideElix

This whole speech had me on the FLOOR. I knew shit was going to turn wicked when he mentioned black artist boycotting the Grammys. Along with telling the absolute truth that nobody has the balls to ask with Beyoncé's award track record, the part that choked me the hell out was him saying some people shouldn't have been nominated at all. That was another BALLSY thing to say in front of all said nominees but, once again, not a lie!! I was wondering who would even fit in that accusation since all the noms this year were some rightful heavy hitters until I got to Ice Spice for Best New Artist. Now I'm wondering if she was one of those few shots he was aiming at lmao.

Bjime3925

How renaissance, lemonade, or self titled never won album of the year is really something. Although if it were me I would’ve given solange album of the year for a seat at the table. That was an impeccable album.


detectivepink

I’m still in shock that Lemonade didn’t win. I remember exactly where I was when Lemonade came out. I was getting a coffee and a bagel and the barista said “oh my god Beyonce just released something” so I immediately ran home to go see. That was, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest, most interesting, pivotal albums of my 30 year old life. When Renaissance came out, I was certain she would get it this time. I don’t understand it at all.


nvrmindhonest

Baffles me today that Beck won over Beyonce…. I WAS PISSED and Renaissance which is the best body of work we’ve seen in a very long time. She gives us range, vocals, full production, gives us life with these uplifting songs and it getting snubbed was ridiculous.


Common_Budget_1087

And then Harry saying „I know those don’t quiet often happen to people like me“ 💀 Like I know what he meant, but he should have known how it would come across.


rrmmbb77

Yep!!!!!


Extension-Season-689

Self-titled though didn't even win it's genre category so it never had a chance at AotY. It's Renaissance's loss that I don't get the most. It feels like they're just adamant about not giving her this one big award. Maybe it's the voting blocks too. Beyoncé always has strong competition in the pop and R&B category which ends up splitting those votes often.


Jolly_Discipline6650

I will ALWAYS be that person and say that Beyoncé should’ve one AOTY for Self-Titled. That was a momentous turn in her artistry in how she approached her music. And Solange’s A Seat at the Table was impeccable


pixxxelateddd

Agreed. Also loved her 2019 When I Get Home! Solange deserves more credit.


AutoModerator

Self-Titled is possibly referring to Beyonce's 2013 album called 'Beyonce', more commonly known as 'Self-Titled'. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/beyonce) if you have any questions or concerns.*


gaycomic

I'd say yes for Lemonade, but that Sandcastle song is awful. But then Taylor has a "sexy baby" lyric.... so it's baffling.


caboosekat

He’s not wrong but you know she’s gonna whoop his ass on the way home 😂😂😂😂😂😂

and the way he said “Some of you don’t even belong in the categories” had girlies maaaaaad like he didn’t even mention any names baby, why is you mad? ![gif](giphy|20HFqy7mdGYG1vNOwE|downsized)


VoxyPop

I really want to speculate on who he meant and which categories But yeah he was speaking the truth, no filter. Real Sagittarius energy

thebaffledtruffle

I know the post is about Jay but can we talk about how absolutely glowing Blue is? (She's probably also thinking, "Dad, shut up. You boutta get beat up on the way home if you don't.")


punarob

Realizing it's been 6 months since I saw her in Seattle and wow girls grow up so quickly at that age, she looks so much older already! Gorgeous young woman too.


yaritza10995

And wearing Vivienne Westwood, she's a fashion girlie just like mom

She is SO cute!!!!

WOW did NOT realize that was her ! She’s so big now ! Absolutely stunning.

Daydream_machine

As a Lana fan I gotta say, he ate with that speech 🤭


Jolly_Discipline6650

As a Lana, SZA fan and Self-Titled advocate for AOTY, he sure did!!


Blackonblackskimask

The Grammys is the least representative award when it comes to quality of all the major award categories. We shouldn’t take it seriously.


TheMajesticWaffle

It’s never been something to take seriously… the music industry suffers the worst of entertainment anyway


rrmmbb77

It’s like the 25 most popular artists high fiving each other. I tune in now and then if I remember it’s on and have nothing else to do. Otherwise check any highlights from artists I like.


Whirlweird

and the the grammys proved his point with awarding taylor swift with yet another album of the year grammy, as lana del rey who by far had the better album out of the bunch sat and watched. the grammys wonder why people people are less interested but they award the same people every year in the big categories. it’s boring at this point


Previous-Syllabub614

ocean blvd was so much better than midnights, aside from the popularity I was surprised midnights was nominated let alone won aoty. it’s so weird cause some years the Grammy’s will award based on popularity and other years it’ll be an obscure artist who’s a critical darling. it’s so inconsistent!


No_Two_5678

It was surprising to me how nervous he was! He’s not someone I expect to get nerves.


schwatto

I know NPR might sound like an odd recommendation here, but Terry Gross interviewed him and it was actually really good. Worth a listen if you’re interested in him as a person.


Sad-Mathematician-11

That was such a great interview.


No_Two_5678

I will have to listen!


schwatto

Her program is called Fresh Air if that helps find it


vanessacolina

Is it [this one](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hip-hop-week-jay-z/id214089682?i=1000626708485)? It’s from 2010


vro_what

The entire time she looked like she was waiting for the car ride back home to get on him😭 He became my favorite person that night lmao


foreignbets9

I’m so happy he said this especially after Swift said “I know the way the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans.” I’m sorry what? Nahhhhhh. Such a suck up and I love that Jay said some people shouldn’t be nominated


thebaffledtruffle

I'm not the biggest Taylor fan, and some might say I'm even a hater, but I could not fathom how she won AOTY this year when Beyonce lost to white male mediocrity last year. This album isn't even one of her strongest sonically nor lyrically.


Rainbow4Bronte

So weird that she said that. I know Swift's worked hard for what she's had, but she has literally had everything in her favor. Fame and popularity was literally her game to lose. I don't follow her closely, but a couple of times she has made comments as if people with other, deeper struggles don't exist. Like, if she had gotten up there and said (during one of her many wins), "Thanks where is Beyonce's album of the year award?" "Why has Miley won for something?" that would have been cool too. And I guess I'm understanding now why people keep writing think pieces about "her brand of feminism", which is really about getting people not to criticize TS. There was a clip of her (I listened to this podcast, CodeSwitch) saying that she wanted to be the good girl for so long and slowly broke out of that, but she still kind of wants to be there too. I mean, there have been many benefits for being someone with whom the patriarchy is comfortable. Anyway, I remember when Adele broke her grammy when she won it, offering it to Beyonce. That was really cool of Adele to *see* Beyonce like that, acknowledge the oversight and tangentially the frustration of Black (minority) artists. Anyway, Jay and Beyonce keep showing up to these shows, so I guess it really means something to her or to her fans. Edit: I didn't know what sub I was in. This is the beyhive. ha!


Apprehensive_Aide805

I have to recap of the moment last year where Grammy voters had gave an interview anonymously to a media outlet and said that they think Beyoncé was awarded enough. But they keep her in their sweet carved out genres that’s basically segregated to Black people. But gave the most album of the year wins in 14 years to the most overrated white pop star.

thesophiechronicles

It’s insane to me that she has never won album of the year. Everything he said here is on point, he’s gone way up in my estimations.


No_Two_5678

While I totally agree with Jay z, I completely understand why Beyonce is always SILENT when it comes to things like this. All over social media, non Beyonce fans are spewing pure hatred and lies. It’s like a free for all and it’s so ugly. Even all the randos that decided to hop into the Beyhive subreddit and talk trash about our queen?? I don’t like it!

Successful-Career-96

He’s so real for this


crazymaan92

Yes she's most awarded but she wins in "black" categories. She to my knowledge has rarely won in more general categories. Honestly they really just need to stop looking for validation in this white patriarchal system known as the Recording Academy


deleterandstartover

BeyBey is not amused lol.


Afraid_Football_2888

She’s so humble, she’s truly the GOAT. But that article with the anonymous interview said that they didn’t want to giver her awards that she truly deserved, because “she had too many” . Smh


ninyattitude

He didn't lie. 👀


Bonkszzz

Ehhhhhh 🫠 I would’ve melted into the floor if I was Bey, I would’ve rather them act like they didn’t care until she eventually won lmao. My issue with the speech is that if she wins it for her next album, it’s gonna look like a guilt/here you go since your husband begged for it type of win.


Residentalspot

Blue is trying her best to not show emotions haha


jd3306

It's giving ima let you finish but....


[deleted]

can someone tell me why everyone is saying beyoncé will beat him at home what did he do wrong


International-Toe522

She likes to keep her personal opinions mostly private, especially anything having to do with making sure she is humble. So people are alluding to the fact that jay Z was spilling T that Bey didn’t want spilled


TopAlps6

I think Beyonce likes to keep her personal opinions private. But I also think she likes to use Jay and her mom as mouthpieces. She lets them say the shit she can’t/wont say.

Did anybody notice Beys outfit, and thought she’s hinting us with Act II being country? Country is not my thing, but I’m all for it this time, because I want to see her winning all the best [category] album grammys. I want to see how she eats the academy with that trick.


HollywoodXO_10184

Upon completion of tonight’s ceremony everything he said was straight facts & I couldn’t agree with him more!!


nvrmindhonest

As he should hello!


Common_Budget_1087

At one point we have to ask the question why Jay and Bey STILL go to these award shows. I know he said they just want them (Grammys) to get it right, but c‘mon now, how many years have they been called out? Boycott them for good, just like Abel and Drake did. I don’t see things changing unfortunately.

Everyone looked mad when Taylor won, except Taylor cause obviously she’s trained to act exactly a certain way. They probably know how many dollars she loses if she smiles wrong. It’s just sad, this was never what music was supposed to become. I love her music but we need a change.

So let me get this straight…… he’s mad she didn’t get a Grammy for lemonade to somewhat at least justify his CHEATING on Beyonce. Make it make sense. If anything Blue doesn’t deserve a Grammy for whatever the heck she got one for….


Aggressive_Sky8492

There’s been three times where she clearly had the album of the year but didn’t win. Self titled and lemonade, then Renaissance

Adele's worst album beating Bey's then best was just insane, and I love Adele too.

it wasn't just for lemonade first of all, second of all how would beyoncé getting a grammy for lemonade justify him cheating??? what does him cheating even have to do with her deserving the award?? blue deserves a grammy because of her vocals being on the album that won a grammy, that's literally how it works. anyone involved in the writing/vocals/production gets the grammy as well. stay mad 🤷🏽‍♂️
