gracias armys de mierda 🇲🇽, las amo pq nunca vi un solo video de ellos aca, no supimos ni cómo, ni dónde estuvieron, estaban las locas del hotel (ni era ese) pero jamás se filtró una foto de ellos aquí, debe ser horrible que caguen la imagen de tu país asi por unas cuantas locas
Between Jungkook’s pained knee, Hobi’s blistered feet and Taehyung’s hearing loss, let me never take for granted everything that our seven give us. Let me never forget what it costs them and their bodies to love us. Let me repay that love with nothing but gratitude.
‼️NO PASEN SIN DAR RT Y COMENTAR
ART HAS NO ALIENS
@RecordingAcad
We hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.

BTS didnt boycott your dumbass show because they think they can't submit to other categories, you hairless moron.
They boycotted it because they're against you separating music based on language and region.
How tf do you miss the point that they literally spelt out for you???
Sitting with family members talking about BTS vs grammys.
And a cousin of mine said, “i actually dont understand why it’s such a big deal. Just accept the award and move on. They want to give it to them right? So just take it.”
I’ll pause here to say that it made my blood boil to high heaven hearing that.
A little backstory. This cousin of mine is doing her phd fellowship in marine microbial something or other. She’s always been too prissy to explain it claiming we won’t get it anyway. A whole other issue entirely.
So I said to her, “you’re doing all this work for your phd right. You’re the best in your field. On the verge of a breakthrough. And you’re about to be awarded for your contribution. The Nobel Prize. Or the Crafoord Prize. Hypothetically. Wouldn’t that be an honour? Of course it would. Now, think about the fact that, just before they decide to honour you with that, *gasp* they realise you’re Asian and far beyond qualified compared to some of their darling non-Asian candidates that were a shoe-in. So in an effort, to placate you instead of giving you the award you were promised. They create a whole new one. Just to sideline you in there. The Asian Nobel Prize. Or the Asian Crafoord Prize. How would that make you feel?”
Her face contorted into this beautiful web of confusion. While all my other cousins around us who were also having this conversation with us went dead silent.
She then proceeded to say, “that wouldn’t make any sense. My field work as a microbial marine biologist should not be accredited to where I’m from. If my finding is a breakthrough, then it’s a breakthrough to all. Not just Asia.”
Me: exactly. And that is the point bts is trying to make. That their music and their contribution to the artistry of being musicians should not be accredited to the fact that they are Asian. Music is music. They are global artists. They are mainstream global artists. Sidelining them to secondary, segregatory categories is not acceptable. They should not have to stand for it. Just like how you would not stand for it in your field of work. Qualification of awards should be measured by merit. Not by geographical borders. And to add to what you said earlier. Why not just take the award. What message do you think that would send to the institution that are trying to normalise and camouflage discrimination as inclusion? It would just give them the leverage to keep doing it to others. To keep doing it to bts. So when is enough enough?”
Silence. By this point most of them either checked out of the conversation or just didn’t want to refute me further.
But at the very least I got them all pondering. And also got the prissy high and mighty one to stfu once and for all 😤 which was my end goal anyway. lol.
She’s never talking to me again I bet. A win is a win.
paving the way doesnt always mean the first to win an award, it means the one who makes impact where it matters and allows for those who follow in their footsteps to be seen and treated fairly too. that is what bts are doing, and that takes courage
The most powerful part of this decision is that they are no longer asking to be accepted by the industry. They already know their worth as artists and understand that they deserve nothing less than everything they have built and earned throughout the years. 👏💜🔥

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.”
Taylor fans are Taylor fans, not Pop fans
Metallica fans are Metallica fans, not Heavy Metal fans
Then why are BTS fans labeled as K-pop fans?
I'm into BTS. That's all. I don't want to be associated with the whole genre of K-pop. Don't talk to me about people who I've to google
Ante lo ocurrido con Las fm, hemos tomado la decisión de dejar de apoyar el uso de esta plataforma.
Los recientes cambios implementados por Last fm, junto con la eliminación de BTS de distintos rankings de la plataforma, transmiten un mensaje que no podemos ignorar. Las medidas adoptadas por la plataforma ponen en duda la legitimidad del apoyo que ARMY brinda diariamente a BTS y sugieren que una parte significativa de nuestra actividad no es auténtica.
Rechazamos categóricamente esta postura. El streaming que realiza ARMY es el resultado del compromiso, la organización y la dedicación de millones de personas alrededor del mundo que apoyan a BTS de manera genuina.
Por ello, les pedimos que desvinculen y eliminen sus cuentas de Last fm. No vamos a respaldar espacios que desacrediten o minimicen el apoyo legítimo que ARMY brinda a BTS día tras día.
Mientras tanto, @b_cdapp se encuentra testeando y evaluando nuevas aplicaciones que nos permitan monitorear y controlar nuestro streaming de forma confiable. Les pedimos estar atentos a las próximas actualizaciones que compartirá una vez finalizadas las pruebas.
Sigamos apoyando a BTS en todas las plataformas de música. Nuestro streaming continúa siendo fundamental y cada reproducción sigue siendo una muestra real del apoyo de ARMY hacia BTS.
Gloss and Runch Randa probably wouldn’t believe you if you told them they’d be taking a picture with Busta Rhymes after winning Artist of the Year at the AMAs
