The Missing Shade of Blue

Was expecting/hoping for something a little bit slower and maybe more haunting. I feel like the sound of the outro could have been utilised for the whole track. But I still like it! It's giving Andrew Sisters

Mind you this is EXACTLY what I expected when the announcement dropped

God I'm already reeling from the Lana snubs and now I'm reminded again of one of the biggest and worst snubs in all of Oscar history. Judy Garland I'm so sorry

It's about 5:30pm my side and this day has been... s l o w

Some of us woke up to this news and we haven't been able to sleep it off yet

Yep. The fact that that edited photo of her from the 2020 Grammys where they've photoshopped tears keeps going viral on TikTok is so weird

Nah genuinely I don't know how I keep getting my hopes up. I was so dumbfounded when Lemonade lost AOTY and yet I've kept clowning every year since then. Time to disengage with the Grammys for good lol.

Honestly, I wouldn't have been that mad if SZA won AOTY. I'd be devastated for Lana but it'd be well-deserved. Nothing against Taylor but the fact that she has more AOTY awards than all black women in the category combined is genuinely weird to me. Again, this isn't Taylor's fault, but the Grammys and its voters reek of racism and misogyny.

The Grammys need a serious overall. Either they enforce that every voter has to listen to EVERY SINGLE ALBUM AND SONG nominated and present a large portfolio comprising their thought, ratings, and votes. Like, I want essays upon essays showcasing that they've listened to all the music in depth. Or, the Grammys just need to admit that it's more of a popularity contest, and that actual authenticity and artistic integrity are not celebrated in the same way that chart performances are.

I also dreamt that she won 3 awards! It was for Best Alt Album, ROTY, and Best Pop Duo lol

God, reading the first few pages of this thread is so depressing now

Guys please be respectful Lana literally wrote Summertime Sadness after her sister took her own life

Don't you dare say that you'll give me a grammy babe if you don't really care

Started streaming Ocean Blvd in solidarity but I actually can’t listen to it without crying. This is so much worse than 2019.

It’s my first day of orientation for grad school today and I’m supposed to feel excited but I’m just feel empty inside

Now that you mention it, from the photos I’ve seen she seemed a little subdued.

She literally redefined an entire genre. She changed the landscape of pop music forever. So many people who won tonight would genuinely not be there without Lana setting the blueprint.

I am literally in tears. Perhaps an overreaction but I’m genuinely so upset for her.

This is my 13th reason

This is why I hate the Grammys. Miley deserved to win awards for Plastic Hearts. It’s a great record and was completely snubbed. And yet they’re giving her a Grammy now for the most soulless basic pop song??? THE GRAMMYS HATE GOOD MUSIC.

Even if she wins AOTY I’ll still feel really sour about the whole thing. She easily deserved three wins tonight.

This is making me have stress poops. Shoutout to all my girlies with IBS who are currently struggling with me

I literally have a tummy ache now from the stress. The worst type of pain imaginable. Grammys you will pay for this.

I literally DREAMT last night that she won two Grammys. I’m so fucking annoyed and upset

Genuinely? So we need to manifest SOTY and AOTY as much as we can right now
