Beyoncé AOTY at the Grammys

I’ve been thinking about this a lot with the Grammys coming up next month and it’s kinda bothering me. We all know Beyonce should’ve won AOTY over Beck with self titled. We know she should’ve won over Adele when lemonade came out. She most DEFINITELY should’ve won over Harry or ANYONE else for Renaissance, and this is coming from someone who is a huge Harry fan.

My problem is that since Jay-Z went up on stage last year to accept his award, he called out the Grammys for their bs towards Beyoncé and the AOTY snubs- which is completely warranted. He even said it himself about how Bey has the most Grammys ever but has never won AOTY. She can have a whole album decorated with Grammys but can’t win AOTY?? It’s insane to me that the voters act this way due to her “winning too much” or being “too decorated”- in their words. Anyways, I’m so worried since Jay did that last year that the Grammys are just gonna give her the award for CC to “shut them up”. This is also gonna create discourse for other fandoms to say she bought it, or that she didn’t deserve it- one fandom I can think of in particular 🙄. IMO, Cowboy Carter is thee album of the year. I just know if she wins people are gonna talk about how Jay made them do it or paid voters. I know it’s gonna open the door to so much more racism and sexism that is already a problem between fandoms. I think if she wins, this AOTY is way past due.

What do you guys expect from the Grammys? Do you think if she wins it’s only because of Jay saying something?
