There was a Grammys last night. Yeah, the Grammys still exist. They still claim to be “music’s biggest night,” which is just so adorable of them. We all should dream big!
It seems like the big news out of last night is that Beyoncé won her 28th Grammy, so she’s only two more away from a Royal Rumble’s worth of those little statues. Maybe she can borrow a couple from her husband? I assume he’s won a Grammy or two. I guess go look that up, if you feel like it!
I really have nothing else to add here. The Grammys are about as meaningless as awards get, about as relevant as the Golden Globes and maybe a half-step above whatever that collection of commercials framed as a videogame awards show is currently known as. A lot of people watched the show, though, hopefully just for the musical performances, or because they had a job that forced them to. Fortunately some of those who watched at least made some pretty funny tweets about it, so let’s take a quick look at those. Here are the funniest tweets about the 2021 Grammys, from a bunch of tweeters that you should all go follow right this very second.

Every year my brain is happy to forget the Grammys exist and every year I log onto this website and discover how many people don’t feel the same way. pic.twitter.com/s2NwX3CGHk
Not sure what makes me feel older. Realizing I don’t know half the performers on the #GRAMMYs or my level of disappointment that they’re preempting 60 Minutes.
If you’re mad about the Grammy results, remember that Grammys are meaningless. They once gave Album of the Year to Adolf Hitler. This isn’t true, but it feels true.

Chaka Khan is to the Grammys what James Spader is to the Emmys, in that whenever they win one, you think “good for them”, until you realize this is their umpteenth award and then you think, “great for them”.
