Grammy Win for Unofficial Bridgerton Musical

Am I the only one who feels astonished and a little horrified at this? In my opinion it was clearly the academy trying to garner attention. I am a Bridgerton super fan (20+ guilty pleasure binges) and I could not even bring myself to finish this in one sitting. The only song of merit was the one that went viral, and even that was… okayish?

I can’t imagine an academy member actually sitting down and justifying why a breathy, ill constructed borderline pop album solely for teenagers to use as a Tiktok audio deserves more esteem than a Sondheim, Dylan, or any other score.

Popularity over actual talent. Pathetic.
