When will Black women stop being snubbed for Grammys' album of the year?
SalonTaylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records. Jay-Z clarified that "obviously, it’s subjective, because it’s music and its opinion-based," but his biggest gripe with the Recording Academy is how someone like Beyoncé could be the musician with the most wins of all time but still not be awarded album of the year. Think about that: The most Grammys – never won album of the year.” Beyoncé has been the center of conversation around album of the year snubs since her self-titled album "Beyoncé" was beat out by Beck's "Morning Phase" in 2015. Last year, critics predicted that she would finally take home the award that would show her domination in pop music but instead, Harry Styles' "Harry's House," took home the top prize. While Swift's win for "Midnights" might be a reflection of culture's obsession with her, her billion-dollar Eras tour, her fanfiction-like romance with NFL's star player Travis Kelce and being named TIME's person of the year, shouldn't this same standard be applied to stars like Beyoncé and SZA?
