How Harry Styles' Grammys speech made Beyoncé's Album of the Year loss worse

Salon  

The Grammys, like all awards shows, giveth up to a point. This year, the trophy for Album of the Year went to Harry Styles for "Harry's House." But for Styles' album to win over Beyoncé's lauded seventh studio album "Renaissance," her first solo release since "Lemonade" in 2016, was a major upset, the biggest of the night, which caused some audience members to verbally protest when Styles took the stage to receive the award. News writes, "bands and duos fronted by white men"— have won in the category of Album of the Year 32 times, almost half of all the years in the history of the Grammys. Snubbing Beyoncé TIME described "The Recording Academy's repeated awarding of other artists over Beyoncé" as an ongoing part of this pattern of exclusion, ignoring the work of Black artists, particularly Black women, in the most prestigious categories like Album of the Year.
