Wrote a little, okay a lot, about the Grammy’s!

[ipoddymouth]

honestly i can see jacob collier winning because when a lot of pop girls are in the category the votes get split but then he'd have to face the wrath of the stans so

i think him winning would prevent stan wars in a way bc one faction wouldn't have a one-up........they would all unite against him tho but at least i wouldn't have to hear about how [redacted] had the [redacted] album

bridge over troubled water ft john legend & tori kelly is insane actually

billie felt a lump forming in her throat, her eyes strained on the stage as the host spoke into the microphone. she felt her brother's hand on her shoulder, but she missed your comforting touch. where were you? you said you'd be a few minutes in the bathroom. she was sweating, palms cold but sweaty as she continuously wiped them on her pants. she was so nervous, this was the last chance for her album to win an award.

she's worked so hard for the past year, writing, scrapping, recording over and over again. she put her soul, her trauma, her heart, her thoughts and body into this album and it blew up. and she was so so proud of herself and finneas. it had to win, right?

she was almost on her toes now, mouth running dry as she listened with wide eyes.

"next nomination is... album of the year" the voice rang through the arena, nervous and assuring whispers all around billie making her even more overwhelmed. "the nominees are...André 3000 - New Blue Sun...Beyoncé - Cowboy Carter...Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft...Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess....Charli XCX - Brat....Jacob Collier - Djesse Vol. 4....Sabrina Carpenter - Short n’ Sweet...Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department"

when he finished saying the last album's name, billie swallowed hardly. her heart was coming up her throat, suffocating her like blood hurling up her throat as if she was dying and has been stabbed one too many times. she was licking her lips constantly, the anxiety in her body at such high level that she was nearly shaking. those moments of dramatical pause were killing her – and, no doubt, the other nominees too –.

then, when taylor walked on stage, billie pursed her lips, her hand reaching up on her shoulder to grip her brother's hand. taylor stood by the microphone, looking out at the crowd of all her colleagues with a kind smile, she cleared her throat, glancing down at the cards in her hands.

"and the Grammy goes to..."

billie gripped finneas' hand tighter, starting to feel lightheaded from the overwhelming pressure on her chest.

"Cowboy Carter!"

the words hit billie like a truck and she stared at the stage for a moment. the last bit of hope disappears from her blue eyes which suddenly filled with tears. her hand dropped from her brother's and she put on a wry smile as she clapped, watching the singer walk on stage, accepting the award.

she was happy for her, of course, but... she thought everyone loved her album just as much as she did. that it was worth at least 1 Grammy... but, she thought wrong. she fought back tears, her body tense as her eyes never left the singer.

you sighed deeply, cursing yourself for taking so long in the bathroom as you hurried back to your girlfriend. though, kind of hoping you'd walk in to see her up on the stage already. but then you stepped in, seeing beyonce up there and your heart dropped lower the hell.

what?

this couldn't be...

your eyes looked for your girlfriend in the crowd, quickly making your way towards her and standing in her line of view to block her sight of the stage.

"baby.." you murmured despite the cheering crowd around you, eyes meeting her blood-shot ones and taking her clapping, shaky hands in yours. you looked at her a moment longer before glancing at finneas. "we're getting some fresh air"

he nodded and you let billie out of there, not caring for the cameras and other eyes following you two. soon you were out of there and you were stroking billie's back as she sniffled.

"baby..." you repeated, catching her attention and she looked at you. "I'm sorry... you deserved to win" you said to her, eyes softly and full of worry as you watched her swallow.

"she did too" she muttered and your heart melted and broke at the same time when you heard of sincere she was being still.

"I know" you sighed "I'm still proud of you" you smiled softly, pulling her into you and she wrapped her arms around your waist, burying her face into your shoulder.

"I kind of thought... this album was gonna be it" she mumbled into your shoulder, tears pressing to pour out. "I worked really hard..."

"yes, yes, you did, angel" you whispered, stroking her back softly. "you're the winner in my eyes, the only winner" you leaned your head against hers as you felt her grip tightening on your waist, pulling your body closer in need of comfort.

"am I being pathetic?" she asked, voice breaking at the end.

you shook your head immediately "no, no you're not" you breathed out and pressed your lips to her forehead. "you can let it out, bils" you assured her, heart breaking at her state.

the dam broke, salty, hot tears pouring from her beautiful eyes out in the back parking lot of the arena, holding her girlfriend tightly while her body shook with her sobs. you squeezed her against your body, one hand reaching up to pull her hat off for a more comfortable position. you rocked your bodies side to side, whispering sweet things into her ear.

after a while, her crying stopped and the two of you just stood there in each other's arms. hearing the crowd inside and the commotion of the paps outside and the traffic and you could tell it was overwhelming for both of you.

"home?"

billie breathed out a sigh of relief at your question and nodded. you pulled back, looking at her wet face with a frown and wiping her tears with your thumbs. "I love you, angel" you leaned in, pressing a kiss to her swollen lips before pulling back and taking her ring-clad hand in yours, beginning to walk further into the parking for billie's car. then she mumbled, voice hoarse but full of emotion.

"I love you too, pretty"

sorry if I didn't describe the grammys part right, I didn't watch!!

Anti-Grammys Rant

I'm so done with the Grammys. 2024 had such great albums and who do they give AOTY to? The album people have heard only one song (that Texas song) off. I get it no one's heard New Blue Sun or Djesse Vol 4 either.

But the other nominations?

TTPD, HMHAS, Brat, Short N' Sweet, Midwest Princess, they all deserve it so, so much.

If they wanted to go after numbers, there it is. TTPD. Fastest album to hit 1 billion streams in 6 days. Most streamed album of 2024.

Impact? Brat. 2024 summer will always be remembered as Brat Summer. It was a phenomenon.

Speaking of phenomenon, femininomenon. Midwest Princess had so many bops. Hot To Go, Pink Pony Club, Supernova, and more.

Short n' Sweet already got best pop vocal so I can understand why they didn't give it aoty but Espresso and Please Please Please? How can either win no awards?

HMHAS had overall the best lyrics, production, vocals, and everything, and the way Billie was robbed was just unbelievable. All 5 albums deserved AOTY.

What reasons did they have to give Beyoncé the awards? Except for, of course, Jay-Z paying for the award. The Academy is literally just feeding into the 'Thank You Beyoncé' rumours.

This has nothing to do with Beyoncé being the first black woman to win AOTY since 1999, I'm not being racist, I'm not white. It's about how unfair the Academy is.

Taylor was the most streamed artist on Apple Music and Spotify. She released a double album in between a record-breaking tour, and the audacity to give her no award for it? Bffr.

Who listens to Beyoncé except for her handful millennial fans? I have not heard any songs of Cowboy Carter except for the Texas song, and that too, on social media.

But at least all the other nominees won a Grammy, I'm so sorry for Billie and Taylor because I feel like HMHAS and TTPD were the best albums of 2024 for real.
