The Bey-hive is Vicious!

The Bey-hive is Vicious!

Maddie Gill, Managing Editor

While she is one of the greatest musical artists of all time, Beyoncé fans are obnoxiously overzealous. I might even get cancelled for saying that, but the harsh reality is that it’s true. After the Grammy’s last weekend, Beyoncé fans were beside themselves that she did not win Album of the Year. Rather, it went to Harry Styles for Harry’s House. Even though the Recording Academy has been exposed in the past to favor those who schmooze them, ultimately, awards are supposed to be given solely on merit – not based on race, ethnicity, or sexuality. The annoying part though is that no one can ever be happy with who is awarded. This year, some less “mainstream” artists were awarded, and people were up in arms about that too. The Recording Academy is recognizing artists from all over. Who wants to watch a 3-hour award show where Beyoncé wins every single category? In regards to Album of the Year, Harry’s House had better commercial success than Renaissance. Harry Styles also sold out 15 straight nights at Madison’s Square Garden, The Kia Forum, and other areas around the nation. Without being biased, he truly deserved the awards he received. Not to mention, it’s not like Beyoncé walked away empty handed! But to boo someone and make them feel bad for their accomplishment is ridiculous.
