Harry Styles Slammed For Clueless Remark During His Album Of The Year Grammys Speech
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Harry Styles betrayed his boy band roots Sunday night when his Album of the Year Grammys speech seemed like it was heading in one direction, but suddenly took a sharp turn south. The “Sign of the Times” singer ended a pretty standard acceptance speech by saying: “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often.” That remark rubbed some viewers the wrong way, considering he was up against the likes of the Puerto Rican-born Bad Bunny and Beyoncé — whose respective wins would have signified the first Spanish-language album to win the award or the first Black woman to win the award since 1999. pic.twitter.com/33DAXiKOgO — Chichi February 6, 2023 Harry styles said “this doesn’t happen to people like me very often” and I gotta be honest I can’t think of a type of people this happens for more — hey man nice tweet February 6, 2023 “This doesn’t happen to people like me often,” possibly an even more severe case of foot in mouth than anything Harry Styles said on the DON’T WORRY DARLING press tour — Isaac Feldberg February 6, 2023 “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often” says the white man who uses queer aesthetics to sell records and won album of the year over a Black woman. — Zach Stafford February 6, 2023 “This doesn’t happen to people like me often” - a white man winning aoty for the umpteenth time in history — ✨Glendale 3/17 & 3/18✨🌙 February 6, 2023 Harry Styles saying people like him don’t win very often. — Danez February 6, 2023 Although it’s unclear what Styles meant by “people like me,” many of his fans assumed he meant someone who began their career in a boy band.
