Good luck to everyone attending the European dates coming up (incl. the members) 😭
When I saw SKZ in Florida it was 35C 100% humidity and thought I might die in GA until the sun went below the wall 🥲 a hand fan and umbrella is key and I had the time of my life so its worth it
The industry's obsession with tearing down BTS is so comically obvious they aren't even trying to hide it, just creating barriers for them left and right
But you know you stan a good group of people when the industry is so against their success
the grammys = attacks bts by putting them in a racist corner so they can’t take awards away from westerners
army = attacks other asian artists for being in the same racist category that the grammys just shoved them into
bts BEEN a threat to american music industry so ofc they gon try their hardest to separate them from main categories as long as the industry plants & mediocre white artists don't get snubbed
This potentially means that not only will they snub bts of the main award they may award the asian award to another kpop group saying bts doesnt qualify..
Also, Swim is technically not eligible for this category.
So unless they have Hooligans, 2,0 or Normal (Korean version) as a single, they technically don't have a song to go on here yet apart from Come Over, promotion wise.
the timing of a new “asian pop” category while a major asian act is having one of the most successful albums globally really exposes the problem: it’s segregation and not inclusion.
when non western artists are still underrepresented in major categories, it doesn’t feel like recognition for the asian music market, but containment. they deserve to win, but they cannot, so let’s give them a candy that excludes them a bit further. at least it looks pretty, right?
it’s unfortunate how the “how are you so shameless” line from aliens always hits.
The GRAMMYs are introducing their first Asian category at next year’s ceremony.
Best Asian Pop Music Performance will recognise K-Pop, J-Pop, C-Pop recordings that feature meaningful use of one or more Asian languages.
@Avarras Oh yeah bc its not as exciting online so then it ruins the experience in person. Thats what happened with PTD in person it was underwhelming bc i had already seen it several times online so it was really disappointing:( the fact i couldnt see from my seat didnt help tho lol
