“oh my little cousin wants to play the game, let’s give him the unplugged controller so he could shut up and feel good about it” is what that “best asian pop” category is btw
also beyond bts … grammys added new SPECIFIC categories after bad bunny and beyonce broke history with their aoty wins . i really think more musicians should stand up about this because it’s ridiculous. they keep getting away with this everytime . it’s plain racism i don’t care
BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category:
“I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”
