Hello and welcome, I would first like to start this episode off with a quick prayer circle. Thank you our lord and savior Beyonce for giving us this space and for holding it with us allowing us the pure joy of your existence every single day. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank God for Beyonce. Thank Beyonce for Beyonce. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. It's been a long time coming. We are on the heels of The heels? When you say we're on the heels of, is that the afterwards? Yeah, because we're like on the heels of No, that's the before, isn't it? We're on the heels? Yeah. So we're on the toes. Yes, because we're on the toes, we're on the toes of the Grammys which, we're recording this on Monday, and if you're listening to this on release day, it's Wednesday, and so everything is top of brain right now and I'm absolutely thrilled. Last night was magical. It was the best Grammys that we've had in a while. I feel like it was spooky how good it was because the rest of this year has not been this good. I'm like, why is the Grammys this good? Is it about to be really bad? Did you see that SpongeBob thing? Yeah. You saw the SpongeBob meme and now that's what you're saying. Yeah, exactly. But I made it into my own words. So it's as if it was my own thought. Yeah. I'm like, ah, this is looking a little bit suspicious. It was very good. It was amazing. Do we want to dig into it? Perhaps. I think we should. Let's dig into the Grammys. Grab a seat. Okay. Oh my. Fuck. Where to start? think we should start off the episode very strong with Album of the Year. Yeah, let's go backwards. Oh, 100%. Yeah, that's what everyone's waiting for. Everyone's gonna wait for the album of the year. Yeah. That's what we were waiting for. Yeah. When we watched the Grammys, it was supposed to be from five to eight and they went over like an hour and a half as they always fucking do What were your original thoughts for album of the year? My original thoughts for album of the year? I will say my album of the year, like my album of the year. Was it wasn't nominated so Deep Well, Casey Musgraves, or Billie Eilish. And I really thought that Billie would have taken it. I really did think Billie would have taken it. I think Billie thought Billie would take it. No, I don't know. There was a, the category was like full of incredible albums. And then the tortured poets department. Uh, And the men and the two random straight people. And I was like only people in this category that I'm actually caring about are the women. And there's four. It was Charlie. It was Billy. It was Beyonce. It was Sabrina. Sabrina. And then Taylor. I don't care about Taylor. Oh, and Chapel. Yeah, I didn't think Chapel was going to win album of the year. Brat really could have won. Yeah. For it's cultural impact. However, as a cohesive body of work it had to be Miss Carter. There was no question about it. My thoughts were like, I was I, I knew that Beyoncé should win, but I thought Brat was going to win. Just because of the Grammy's track record? yeah. Oh, and probably two years ago, when Harry Styles won for that fucking house album. What was it called? Harry's House? Motherfucking Harry's motherfucking house. Two years ago, Harry Styles won album of the year and he got on stage and was like, this never happens to people like me. When in actual fact little white boys plucked out of obscurity by Simon Cowell tend to win a lot in life. Correct. and Beyonce deserved to win album the year for Renaissance and Lemonade. A hundred percent. she definitely should have won for Lemonade. I'm less mad about Adele winning Over Lemonade than I was about Harry. Was that the, it was that the Yeah, it was Adele and she was like, Beyonce deserves this award. Yeah, a hundred percent. And Harry said, I deserve this award. Fuck you Also, where is Harry Staz now? Where is he now? Hello? Album of the year. Goblet of Carter was, it's a beautiful piece of work. I wanted. Personally, because truly the album that I gravitate more towards to listen to every single day pretty much is Hit Me Hard and Soft. Yeah. Cause I love Bilalash. Bilalash. I love Bilalash. I love that eyelash. but absolutely Beyonce deserves it. She said, and I quote, people don't put out albums anymore. They just make songs and they just put out a quick record just to make a quick buck. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have quoted because it's not exactly accurate. Paraphrase. But then she was like, no one puts out like a body of work anymore and Beyonce consistently is giving us bodies. She's giving us body after body of like work. And body. And body. Because from the start of the album to the end of the album, it is a cohesive story. And she plays homage to. country artists of yonder yeah she gives a platform to upcoming artists yeah it's incredible i think that's so cool yeah yeah it's incredible it's just like the theory that she's taking back music that black people created and white people took over is just not a theory but that's what she is doing with renaissance with house music and then this with country music and then the next one which is going to be a rock album if the theory holds true that'd be crazy i just think it's incredible it's like It's more than music. She is the music industry. She is the person that creates everything that we do. Sorry, Have you seen how mad people are? Yeah, I know people are so mad. Like the country people? Especially for country albums. Especially for country albums. Because she won country album, which I wish. for Country Album of the Year. Like, I love Casey with all of my heart, and that was the one I wanted deeper well to win. Yeah. I mean, Even Beyonce was shocked. Yeah. I'm very happy that Beyonce won both. I wish that Casey did win Country album. but I know why Beyonce won. But there are so many country fans that are like, this isn't even a country album. Oh shut up. I'm like shut up, yes it is. She is a genre defining, defining? She's a genre bending artist. Genre bending, yeah. Genre bending. She's doing everything. We're bending genres. We are creating trends. We are like, we are the music industry. That's what I would say if I was Beyoncé. Also her platinum blonde hair. Live. And I'm like, oh my god, okay, so what am I going to wear for the cabal choir? She's not coming to San Francisco. She's not coming to the Bay Area. Yeah, no, so she's only coming to like LA, New York, and like Texas, and Really? She's only doing a few cities? No, I've not even looked at the thing. It's not a long tour. It's way shorter than Renaissance. The the circle the golden circle or whatever the fuck. It was called Club Renaissance, yeah. And it's gonna be called the Hoedown Club or something. Okay. Hoedown Club. Hoedown Throwdown. Yeah. Okay. Oh my god, I can't wait to Hoedown Throwdown! Do you know what I fucking hate at concerts though? And I will say this hand on heart. I will say this with my full chest. I hate cowboy hats. They get in the way. They obstruct my view. And I'm not the tallest person in the world, but I'm certainly not the shortest. This is when you wear cowboy boots with heels. Do you remember when we were at the Casey Musgraves concert in fucking Austin, Texas? And there was this giant man, this big gay man, in front of us. He was actually, he was like one of the highlights of the entire evening. He was so tall, he was a good 6'5 and his cowboy hat on top. And he kept going like in front of me and I was like, okay, you're gay so it's fine. Oh, he was living, I was living for him. but I was like, please take your hat off. Yeah, What are you gonna wear? Chaps? No, I'm not wearing chaps. Boots? Yeah, maybe boots. What else is cowboy? I don't fucking know. You have a good thing. What you wore to Coachella that, that time. That is so annoying. Matt wore this like cowboy hat that had like pearl beads. It has pearls dangling all around it like a curtain. But it's so annoying to wear. It's so annoying. Yeah, but it's. I can't see through it. Yeah, no, but you won't be wearing it. You'll have it around your neck most of the time. I might. Cause I don't, I'm not wearing a hat. Fall denim. Levi's. That's a great idea. Yeah. I did that for renaissance. I wore fall denim. That was a choice for renaissance. You didn't know Cowboy Carter was coming. I didn't know Cowboy Carter was coming. You didn't know. What if I got that but rhinestoned? that would make more sense for renaissance. Yeah, there is. I know. That's so annoying. I know. That's really annoying. I could wear the white version. Yeah, she did white for the, I have the full white double denim. Yeah she did white denim for the Super Bowl. Not Super Bowl. Hello. The football game. That football game. That football game Christmas Day. Yeah. The Christmas Day Beyoncé show. Yeah, she did white denim. Yeah, so you mean the Christmas Day Beyoncé show. I do. Yeah. Football. Yeah. Sport. Enough about Beyoncé? I could talk about Beyoncé all day. I'm so happy. oh and Blue. Blue! And Blue. Oh. She's so pretty. Blue. She's grown. Azul. Azul. Baby Azul. Did you see, she said whenever she got up and they were looking at each other, Blue was like, can I go up with you? Aww. Of course. Beyonce was like, of course you can go with me. And I was like, okay, love, okay. And then Beyonce did an interview and she never does interviews. I know, I know. She's talking. Yeah. She's speaking. Everyone's you better not fuck this up, you guys. Yeah. If you fuck this up. Yeah. And Beyonce stops being in the public eye. Like, Oh my God. Can't deal with it anymore. She gave an interview and she was so happy. And it was a long interview. Yeah. She had multiple questions. Yeah, it was great. I was like, I thought it was gonna be one question and done. No, she has three questions. She's I have time. Yeah. I was like, whoa. The world is changing and we're changing with it. I'm like, have we turned this around? February. It's February. February's great. It's February. February's great so far. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up, you listener. Don't fuck it up. Okay. What else? Best new artist. Oh, yeah. This category, I feel like this is the second most sought after category of things that, Who was it? Hello? I forgot. Chapel. Yeah. Between Dochi, Chapel, Sabrina, Benson. Benson. Chapel. Happy for her. Chappelle. Love it. Oh, clown. Oh, Miss Chappelle. That fucking what? It's the dunce hat. The dunce hat? Like you get like whenever you're bad in school? In like the 1920s. Yeah, Yeah. But she made it as like a fairytale. I think it was like more of a fairytale hat. Okay. Like knights in like fairy tales would wear like these big hats? No, like wizards. Wiz I'm sure wizards. This is like a knight tune. Do you know when you've played the Zelda game? Yeah. And then you like run into that weird wizard who just hops around in the sky and and he catches your attention. Yeah. Him. He catches attention. That hat. Yeah. Big tall wizard's hat. So it's like either dunce or wizard. So I don't know where she was going with it. And it was kind of annoying to me because I would just always see it in the corner of the screen. I was like, what the fuck are you wearing, girl? Was it, were there words on it? I don't know. I didn't look that closely. The thing about about Chaperone that I love is that she is doing it differently. She's doing it differently. She's doing it. She's doing everything differently. She has had no media training up until recently, I think. She needed it. She really fumbled so, so much over the last I don't know, she had a really crazy start to Not even start to her career. There's just like since Coachella and then all of the festivals, she had the biggest crowd at Lollapalooza ever, which I will say we were there at her Coachella beginning. We were there at the Coachella beginning. And the beginning of the crowd was just like, it was like in an indoor stage. And then she exploded. Lollapalooza? Governor's Ball? The other one in Tennessee? Bonnaroo? I love it for her. She's doing so well and I love her to death. Yeah. Sometimes she says things that I don't like. Like when she said Kamala and Donald. She said Kamala. Yeah. We're not getting into that right now. You know what? This girl. Whatever. She has said some things that are just like not. What she should have said I'm also like you as an as a person you don't need to get on the internet and say everything you think No But as a queer icon in a lot of ways, and someone who stands up for trans people, and has this platform, I think she could have said a lot of things that she did not say. Last night? No, no, No, not last night in a speech. She had her thing that she wanted to say in the speech and I really appreciate that she stuck to that and she was like That's what I want to focus on. She called out recording label. Yeah. Yeah, that's yeah No, she didn't call it the Academy. She called out record labels. Oh record labels. Yes Record and Song of the Year going to Kendrick Lamar. Now you need to explain the difference between these. Oh, I know. I do know. Because you know the difference between these ones. Yeah, I do know. I do know. I don't. Those beautiful things that I've done. Please. Stay! Let me take a brief moment to express my grievances to song slash also record of the year double winner Kendrick Lamar. Fine, it's a good song, the only time I've ever heard it is just on TikTok. I don't know if I've heard it. I think it's a diss track to Drake. Oh, that one. I love. What I will say about this is that I love that he is an award winner for being such a fucking hater. I love that. I eat that up. That is true. You wrote a song about being a hateful little bitch. Oh my god, love that. I relate. I relate. That is your favorite thing. And now you have two awards for that. Actually, he won a bunch of different awards. He won a bunch of awards for that song. Yeah, the smaller ones. Good for him. Good for him. What's the difference between the two? Song of the Year is a songwriter's award, so basically like the writing. Behind, behind the songs. Lyrics? Lyrics. Ah. Song of the year. Lyrics. Words. That kind of composition. Whereas the record of the year is broader, recognizing a song for its full production. and that's also awarding the artists, producers, and engineers involved. Ah. So does it include like the music video? I don't think so. Oh. I don't think you should have won both, no, I don't think so. like Song of the Year, sure lyrically it is like a cultural moment. The one I should have won was Espresso. Espresso wasn't in it, was it? It was in for record of the year. Oh, yeah. And good luck, babe. Ah. I feel like we're biased, because we're just like Girlies only! We're like girlies who love girlies. Yeah, I'm just like Girlies only. I'm just a gay man who wants my girls to win. We had a viewing party, and it was like, No one is allowed to come. If you root for a man, you have to leave. It's not allowed. Girls only. And we were on such a streak. I know. With the rap category. I know. When Dochi took it the fuck home. I know. I can't stop. I know. I can't stop thinking about it. One of three women to win that award. Best rap album. And she's gay. Bye. Queer. Everyone's gay. I love it. I'm so happy about it. Can we talk about her performance? Can we get to that yet? That's what I care about going about it. That was the best part of the show. Yeah, for me, a hundred percent. Dochi's performance was incredible. It was more than incredible change. The outfit. OK, the outfit she wore was the best outfit worn to the Grammys this year. though, like blazer with the cinched waist and in the pants, Tom Brown came and he said, I'm going to eat these bitches up. Period. And the face tape. Yeah, I know. And it wasn't, I think the face tape was like bedazzled question mark. I think it had little bedazzled around the edges of it. Was it sparkly? Wasn't it? It was so good. And then she took that off and then she was wearing just like, Nothing. She didn't take it off. It was ripped from her. Yeah. Yeah. And the wait, the production, the choreo the outfits the, just like the fucking treadmill thing that was on. So cool. Oh my God. It was sick. The choreo felt like it was so good. The choreo felt like, there was so many body parts moving around in such a fun way. I was like, this looks like an organism. This looks like an organism made of 20 humans. Just like I'm glad that everyone that I wanted to win an award, apart from Ray Won an award. I don't know if Ray was like, the most relevant in the past year. she already won six Brit Awards last year. She took home what was needed in that one work show. In the UK, yeah. I don't know if she It's also been so long since then and she hasn't like really released like a lot of music since. Yeah, she released like that one Genesis Part 2, I think. but like look at chapel. I might come on. Yeah. The impact is way more. I want to pivot for a second. We can't talk about the Grammys without talking about. The host. I feel like Trevor Noah did a good job last year. I feel like he was like fine. I feel like he's been doing it every year. Why does it feel like he's been doing it since the beginning of time? Did he do it the year before too? I don't know but it feels like it. It does feel like it, doesn't it? He made a joke. A joke. About illegal immigrants. Oh, yes. Did you see? No, kinda. Uchis writes in her Instagram story saying it again. No human being is illegal. Lame jokes. Weak host. yeah. I know. Lame jokes. Weak host. But this is the thing. I feel like Trevor Noah is like a very he was a safe option for the Grammys, again, to have a host like that. Nikki Glaser. Put her in there. Nikki Glaser hosted the Golden Globes and I don't think I've Ever experienced an award show like that, like I've not even seen the award show, I've only seen her best bits because she is, she was that award show. Put her the fuck in there, she's so funny. And like nobody, there was like no laughs, there was no like anything in the Grammys last night. Is the Grammys, is it because more people watch the Grammys than the Golden Globes? No, No, the Recording Academy is completely different, it's like way more like strict. The Academy is like the Oscars and like the, and the Grammys. It would have been so much more funny if she like, because they don't poke fun at the celebrities there. Whereas the Golden Globes, you can just of do what you want. Right. But no, it would be so great The whole vibe is she's poking fun, but we are laughing together. And then Trevor's just like, Beyonce's here. Taylor Swift is here. Look, it's Billie. Also it wasn't like, not to be a Debbie Downer or not to be like, Be it. Not to be like, Stop being sad, but like, not to do that, but they just kept being like, it was like so morbid. It was like so much about the fires and the plane crash and then why did the Los Angeles fire department come up? And they're like, the thing that they said, like their whole speech, that whole thing was so beautiful. And it was like so, like, lovely to watch. And then all of a sudden they're like, And now the album of the year goes to, I was like, this is a weird disconnect. I feel like this is very dystopian. We're like having this awards ceremony, And then there's Donate to the fires. You donate to the fires. The, The amount of money, no, I had a problem with the like, Asking the QR code on the screen all the time asking people at home to donate when the amount of money in that room alone No, I know could solve every single problem. The world has ever faced No, I know but like also the fact that the Grammys is happening as well, right? Cuz was there an award show that didn't happen that was gonna they push the Oscars back it was, I think it's just like the proximity that to the fires but they did a lot of tributes. Like the Billy performance was a tribute. Okay. Because they had the, oh, I missed that. I was getting the door. yeah, Billy's performance had a, it was like from a, it was like a photo of a lookout from like Runyon or something. And it was like pictures placed exactly of people who took pictures at that lookout exactly where it is on the screen. So it like lined up and I was like, that was a great tribute. And then they did the, we are the world thing. Yes, And then they did the firefighters at the end. It's kind of a lot. Yeah, I Um, The Grammys has received so much like flack in the past. Well, Especially for just like prioritizing white eyes. Yeah, the CEO gave a speech. Yeah, we're so sorry about being really shitty. Here's the weekend. I didn't love that. Here's the weekend. He came up and then he wasn't sitting in it. He wasn't standing in the center of the stage. Which really confused me. He was like off the center of the stage. No, everyone was like, we were like, what the fuck is his bowtie? Yeah, his bowtie was askew. like he was a little bit askew. And then he was like, the weekend said that he was gonna boycott and then he didn't, so now here he is. And I was like, huh? I like, I get it. I get what you're doing and you can do this behind the scenes. I don't need a CEO to come out and be like, we're better now. Also, the Grammys is good. No, I know. It feels like it I feel like people keep saying Oh, she's only, Beyonce only won this award because the Grammys is trying to be DEI, DEI, but like, no, she, truly, if you look at all of these albums together, if you like were to. Dissect them. It's a no fucking brainer that Beyoncé is well past due her flowers. Totally. The Weeknd, however I like That was a weird performance. I like, I've liked some of his music. I agree. And I just feel like he what? Huh? What was he doing? I feel like all of his performances are the same. I didn't see him. No, because he's always drowning in a mountain of clothes. Yeah, why is he in ski gear? I don't know. Like why is he getting ready to go down the mountain? I think this is his last hurrah as the weekend. I think he's changing his persona. To the weekday? Yes, it's like Tuesday. Hi, it's me Tuesday. He's having a rebrand. Might be better. No, he's me having a rebrand. He's not going to be, he's no longer going as the weekend. I think that I don't follow. I think the idol really fucked him up. Yeah. I own this boycott. Apparently this is so weird. I was like, just let him perform. Why are we talking about all this? Cause he boycotted the Grammys. He was boycotting. We don't have to talk about it. Why don't you just like, do the boyc he did the boycott, maybe they had a conversation, the Grammys fixed everything, and then we just don't talk about what happened. I thought it was weird, I was like, all these headlines plastered on the Yeah, all the weird And I'm like, this is kinda crazy. We don't really gotta talk about it do it behind the scenes and just let the Grammys be. Good. Like just do your job. I mean it was good. It was good. Just like pick the best artist. Why are you still talking? CEO. Thank you for this show, but get off the stage. There were a lot of moments where I was like, Let's wrap this up a little bit. So yeah, the men like really did just like Dragged a little bit. Like every man that was on the stage I was just like Come on. Get. Oh, we didn't talk about the we talked about Dochi's clothes ripping off. We didn't talk about Benson's clothes not ripping off. Oh yeah, I didn't. first of all, I was like, why is he sat at a table with Jennifer Lopez? Yeah. That's fucking weird. And then he started, and then he like, oh my god, and then the lights came on and he like pulls a mic out of his pocket and I'm like, oh, for fuck's sake. And there he goes. And then Heidi Klum and Nikki Glaser ripped Rip his clothes off. I think that was pretty good. I was like, also why are Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum sat together? That's so random. And why are they the ones to rip his clothes off? Yeah, it's so random. I don't know. It's, that was all a bit random. Didn't like the jumpsuit. And his back flips. But also I was like, how tall is Ben Simmons? First time I've seen him like on TV really, stood next to people. Yeah. There's a picture of him next to Gracie Abrams is 5'6 I think. And so we deduced that he can't be more than like 5'9 the information about his height is not found online. No, I know. It's been scrubbed. Yeah. He doesn't want anyone to know how short he is. Suspicious. Speaking of height, Sabrina's performance. Loved it. But I think it's so funny that she is what, 5'5 She's 5 foot. She's 5 foot? I make quite an impression. 5 feet to be exact. So she has a record. To be exact. To be exact. She's 5 foot. Oh yeah, she is 5 foot. Oh, I leave quite an impression. Five feet. Five feet to be exact. Be exact. So she's five feet. So that means all of to be exact, to be five feet, to be exact. So all of our dancers have to be 5 2, 5 3, 5, 4. I don't think they're a lot to be taller than five, but she has heels on. So maybe she's five, two and then they're like, she's got kitten on. No. Okay. Five one she has a little kitten on, so maybe moving around a lot. So all the dancers are five three. 5, 4, 5, 5. Yeah. So that she looks, So she just looks the normal height, she just looks proportional, but like you look at her performing and I'm like, that's a five foot eight girl. Even at Coachella, the, all the dances that she had with her at Coachella were like short kings. Yeah. I think it's so great. I love it. Short representation. It matters. It matters. Also the amount of people who don't know she was wearing a wig or that she wears a wig. Alarming. There's a bunch of systems in there. Alarming. She's wearing a great wig. That is a fantastic wig. I love that now every single thing we've spoken about men has been completely negative. All women. Obviously. Because the women like ate down, the men came out and they were like, huh? And the women were like, okay, here we fucking go. Performances by Sabrina Carpenter. She did, oh my God, she did the best. I think it was incredible. I think it was the best performance. No, Dochi. Oh, sorry. No, you can't. I feel like Dochi's, Sabrina's, Chappel's was great. Chappel's was great. Stay with Sabrina for a second. Outfit. Outfit. Outfit. I don't think anyone looks better in blue. That's a really pretty blue. That is like a power colour. That's the blue that you want our car to be. I always say, oh my god, it's the thing about me. Every time I see a nice blue car, I'm like, oh, that's such a nice blue. generally, I don't really like the color blue, but on her, there's like a shade of blue and it's that shade of blue that I'm like, I could eat that. Yeah. I could eat that. I could eat that. Yeah. It tastes like cotton candy. Oh my God. I could eat that. Oh my God. I could eat that. And it would be short and sweet. Yeah. It would be short and sweet. She is so funny. She is so funny on stage. I think she's so stupid. She's a fucking Disney girl. I love her. That's why Miley's like the way that she is. Miley came out to announce. Maybe record or song. Yeah. One of those. Yeah. Yeah. And she was like, Beyonce, we won for Country Duo. Oh yeah. It was a country duo or like pop country duo? No, it was, it like just Duo. It was just duo. It was a duo. One with guests and, and no it wasn't. No? No. Because Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga took that fucking, for the Trolls song. The Trolls song? Is that a Trolls song? I think it was on the Trolls movie wasn't it? That was on the Trolls movie. It was? It wasn't really? Yeah! It wasn't. Ew! If the world could die, then I want to be next to you. Also, what the fuck is she wearing? Let's talk about Lady Gaga for a second. Lady. My icon. Miss Gaga. Mrs. Lady. Mrs. Lady. Mrs. Gentle Lady. Oh my god, what are you doing? Her eyebrows blocked off so iconic, her hair is banged up. Banged. It's so banged, it's so banged up there's no bangs. The thing, also, I feel like Lady Gaga is such a like a, she is like an artist of our, like an artist of our generation. Yeah. Because nobody's doing it like Lady Gaga. Abracadabra. She released. this song and music video in the middle of the Grammys. In a commercial break as a commercial, I didn't even watch. Did you? Did you all watch it? Yeah. Oh, you did? You didn't watch it? No, I was for having a cigarette obsessed. Oh yeah, Yeah. No, she released the entire music video as a commercial and we were all watching, and I was like, this cannot be the entire music video. The entire song played, and then by the end of it. As soon as she's like, however, however it ends, it was like presented by MasterCard. And I was like, that was a fucking ad. That was an ad girl. And we were like, I was like, there has to be like some kind of sponsor in here. So she's going to be holding like a diet Pepsi or like swiping a MasterCard. Yeah. Yeah. And then it was like presented by MasterCard. Yeah. We all died laughing. It was incredible. Yeah. It was everything that I've wanted. You'll have to watch it, won't I? It's everything that I've wanted. from Gaga again, because she's had her she's had her she's been on a journey. She's been jazz. She's done country and what the fuck was the Joker the Joker? We're not talking about the Joker She did this joke at the Golden Globe. She was like that the movie that the Joker Nothing was good about it. And she's oh, where's the table? I'm like, oh, they're not here exactly But now she's back She's done a, she's done a whole 360. She's gone around the deck. I love when, like, when artists have a a new look for An old sound? No. Oh, I thought I was gonna read your mind. I love when an artist has a new look for a new era of music that they're doing. Yeah. Even though this is very art pop. Yeah. Cause art pop was before it's time. Art pop needs to have a round two, and I feel like this is gonna be art pop's round two. Just in a different form. Do you feel like Chromatica was like not as celebrated because of the pandemic? Yeah. Do you feel like it would've a hundred percent It would've been like way crazier. Totally. Because we missed out well, it released and then we couldn't do the chromatica balls, and then she did the chromatic balls oh, later, two years later. Two years later. Yeah. Yeah. We did the, so I'm like, we missed the whole, which we went to. In Stockholm, Sweden. And if you know anything about the Swedish crowd, they do not know how to get down. They remember when Beyonce, started the renaissance tour in Stockholm. So bad. She was like, can you like move around a little bit? Everybody on mute. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, no, but then like also there was no energy. No. Like we were like in, we finna be in the pit. Love you Swedes, but they don't. We were like in the golden circle. That's what they call it. The very front. And someone said, Oh, you know all the words. She turned around to us and she was like, Oh my God, you know all the words. And we were like, we were saying like bad romance. And she was like, you know, all the words don't, you know, I was like, yeah, my paws are up. Little monsters. My paws are up. Oh, I'm about to be a little monster again. This is going to be crazy. When does it come out? I don't know. Soon? Hopefully. I don't know. I feel like I've fallen off the Gaga train. Girl, get back on. Abracadabra. I really was in. Did you watch the music video yet? You haven't watched it. I told you. The whole conversation. I know, but I forgot. So you have to watch it. I haven't seen it. Let's watch it. Because Disease, I was like, that's fine. But like, people keep saying she does this. I feel like she will release a song, Disease, and then the second single is the bad one. No. Abracadabra is everything that you've ever wanted. dubstep. Yeah. Gaga. Bruno. Bye. He's so small. We're not talking about Marina Mars anymore. I want to punch him. I refuse. Chapel Rowan performed Pink Pony Club with a beautiful tribute to LA. Yeah. I love that. I love that she didn't do multiple songs. I appreciate that she just did Pink Pony Club. I would have assumed she would have done Good Luck Babe because it was nominated for so many things. I think it was, it made sense to do Pink Pony Club. Which was a really cute tribute to LA for allowing her to be herself. Yeah. A lesbian! Who's a wee lesbian? She's a wee lesbian. That horse has seen some things though. I will say the horse she was on. That horse was cracked out. Cracked out or had seen some trauma. Oh my god. The clowns did freak me out a little bit. It was a circus and I was here for it. Shakira? Shakira? Shakira? apparently Shakira's had two ribs removed, as we found out last night. What?! That could have been a rumor. Yeah, so this might be hearsay. Hearsay? Or a lie? Hearsay. It might be a lie, but we were discussing last night in great depth. Which means there's some shred of truth in it. That she had two ribs removed? So she could, Yeah, I don't wanna know what it is. What did she do? in more movement. What is she saying? I don't wanna know what it is. I don't wanna know what it is. I don't know why she sounds like a viking. Shakira, hipster. She won an album. She won Latin Album of the Year. I was very confused about that. I didn't know she released an album this year. I didn't know people listened to that album. I knew she released it, but I didn't know it was listened to. Cause Kali Uchi should've won. Period. And Kali Uchis looked fucking sensational last night. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I love Kali Uchis. Let's talk about more women. Rae. Let's talk about more women. Let's talk about more women. Rae, that performance. Her performances are always everything. One thing about Rae is she is going to sing the house down boots. She is an artist. Some people are like singers. She is an artiste. That like long, I recorded it and it was like 17 seconds. The last note. 17 seconds of full belt. That's crazy. And it's so effortless. Oh my god. And she's fully like, I love her like fluid move. Oh my god. People don't really know about her. No, I know. I know. I know because she's like new to the States. Yeah. But she's been that girl. She's crazy. She has been. Her riffs. Also she's just like barefoot. Girl. And she's so funny. We saw her at Coachella. She is hilarious on stage. Yeah, I love her so much. I think she's incredible. I also love when she like, sings, she wraps the cord of the mic around her entire body. Yeah. It's just fully draped around her entire being. She just wants to be one with the music. She, and she is. She is. Have you seen her, any of her clips from the Prince Albert Hall performance that she did? No. With the like, live orchestra? No. Oh my fuck. She performs the album with a live band. It's like the The one that UA did. Yes, exactly. Did she do that exact same thing? Yes. That was great. Exactly that. That was great. Every artist should have to do that to see if they can actually sing. Yeah Charlie. Talk about, Talk about not singing. Oh my god. Talk about not singing. A pre recorded little moment. I forgot about Charlie. That was incredible. Exactly. In my mind, do you think it was incredible? Yes, because I think it was Charlie. I think it was incredible because it was her. Tell me what you liked about it. I loved the beginning part. And I'll tell you what I didn't like about it. So I loved, okay, let me go from the beginning. We had the car, we panned over, and it said, Charles, it said XCX, I think on the license plate. It did say XCX. And I was like, that was cute. And then she came out. She had a champagne hand, she threw the champagne away. She's I don't want that. The champagne was handed to her and she was like, I actually don't want this anymore. She's Came in, Alex Consani. behind her. I'm the other one who was like really struggling to keep up. She was good. The one behind the other one. She looked good. She was like, she looked good. Struggling to catch up. Well, Cause Alex Cassani is seven feet tall. That giraffe, I love her. Alex Cassani came in and I was like, love that. Walked in, came around. don't think we even saw her eyes. You don't want to see her eyes. No, I know because she's on substances. And then we had that little mosh moment and I was like, that's fun. I love that. Came in and then she started to sing. Well, She wasn't singing then. I was like, this sounds good because she's not singing. Came in, started singing, and I was like, There she is. Oh, there she is. There's my girl. There's the autotune. There's the autotune that we desperately need. I wish she didn't do Guess, though. Why? I wish she didn't do Guess, because I feel like that song is quite flat on its own. Without Billie. Like, Billie's right there. Like, why would you not have her also come on? I understand it's Charlie's moment to do her own thing. then I feel like she should have done 360. Cause Julia Fox is right there. And it was Julia Fox's birthday. That is true. It was Julia Fox's birthday. Our Aquarius Queen. Hmm. And she performed Guess, and there's just a bunch of underwear flying around. Also, people have been like, Like, people have been saying that the camera work was really bad. Yeah. The cameraman didn't Cause there was so much going on. Oh yeah, totally. There was so much movement. There was a lot of floor. Yeah. The cameraman was fucking up a lot. Cause it was like, a little bit crazy. I think it was supposed to be the art direction of that performance was supposed to be, like, chaotic. We're moving around, the camera's like, woah, Yeah, camera work, messy, could have been better. 360, I feel like that would have been a better song choice. I think she just wanted the underwear flying around her because of the music video. Yeah, makes sense. I liked it. I liked it. Was it the best performance? No. Because, no. I feel like it should have been earlier too. That, the vibe. Yeah. The vibe of that performance. Very party. And the vibe of the party. It's getting the party side. It should have been at the beginning. Yeah. Not the end. Yeah. obviously they do announce awards outside of the actual like live show of it. Forget about that sometimes. Von Dutch won, is this her first, first ever Grammy win? So she did win, I think three Grammys last night. Brat won best dance and electronic album. And, which is great, that's a great, which is I think what renaissance won in 20, 20, yeah, three. And then Von Dutch won best dance pop recording. Good job, Charlie. It's not my favourite song, so Anyway, Taylor Swift didn't win anything. Womp. And that's all that really matters. She campaigned so much to Stay in the charts all throughout 2024. For what? She like, blocked Billie from getting number one. She blocked Charlie from getting number one. Whoever else she blocked. There was someone else. By releasing 50, 000 versions of the same album. Yeah. Oh, we've discussed that we do not approve of Miss Swift and her actions. And her actions as of late. They're, she's gross. Sorry. She's a little gross right now. She looked fucking stunning though. She did. Also, I really love that she was the one that presented the country music, country album of the year. Yeah. To Beyonce. That was cute. Yeah. Best dressed. Top of the list, I have. Dochi. Yeah, top of the list. If we're doing top of the list. Yeah, tippy top list. I have a list just cause, okay, tippy top. Dochi. Top of the list. Dochi was the best dressed. Dochi was the best dressed. 100%. Boots. Boo boots. Boots. That Tom Brown, because it was like the outfit was Tom Brown and then the extra, like the giant pantaloons. That is unbelievable. And she looked like her face. Oh, she's just stunning. Her face card was, ah! Snatched. Snatched. Truly pulled back. With that face tape. Which I love. I love it. Taylor Swift's Vivian Westwood, the red. Yeah. It was cute. I liked it. And someone also said that she didn't look like she was dressed to win an award. No. Yeah, yeah, Yeah. She didn't put like that much effort into it. No. It's a good dress. Yeah, but not as much effort as she would nor like on the Midnight's win, when she won for Midnight's. Yeah, Yeah. Also, why the f Fuck. The beginning of the show was she sat on Cynthia Reeve and was like, Get off of her. Get off of her. I feel like she, whenever she's at these mu Did you hear her with the bottle of wine in her hands? No. She was like, there's a video of her dancing, and she had the bottle of wine. It's a guess. It's a guess. Oh, okay. And she was like dancing with the bottle of wine in her hands, like jumping around. She just like moves around the whole Grammys. arena. She's trying to find the cameras. Yeah, she's finding the camera. She's going to different people I'm like, where's your table when jack antonoff won like best whatever the fuck he does I want you to give him a nuggy. She was giving him a nuggy like, uh, so weird And Lana Del Rey's behind them, and she's What the fuck are you doing? Get off the stage. And then she was dragged onto stage. That's Oh no, I'm not talking about that. By Taylor Swift? I'm not talking about that. Yeah. Not that Grammys. We don't talk about We only talk about this Grammys. I'm still too distressed by that moment. I'm like, why would you bring on She like, brought her on because she was part of the album. Yeah. But why would you bring her on? Because she was also in the category, and she lost to you. Why the fuck would you bring her on? And she's sitting in the background like So weird. This is really crazy. I don't like this. Let's only talk about this Grammys. That Grammys doesn't exist. Yeah. Lana's my girl, who else? Sabrina Carpenter and her custom J. W. Anderson blue gown. I loved what she was wearing in the pre recorded video before her performance. Which was what? The striped, it was like a striped dress and her waist was like Oh my god! Her waist was like a centimetre across Oh my god, it was crazy I was like, where is it? She sat in like the director's chair Yeah, I was like, where is it? Oh my god, I know, That's crazy How do you look like this? Well, She's corseted down I know, but still No Where is it? It was a beautiful dress too and I was like, the stripes are just like, oh Dunning It was stunning Olivia Rodrigo. Yeah, oh yeah. Was wearing archival Versace. Whoa. And so she has been like, so in her like punk rock era. It's just nice to see her be like, I don't know, a bit more. Yeah. Grown. I loved it. A bit grown. How old is she? I don't even know. Five. She's, she looks fucking phenomenal. Yeah. Oh my fucking god. Yeah. She looks incredible. We've talked about Lady Gaga's insane. Looks for her insane new era. Yeah, I like it. Although I didn't like it. I didn't like what she wore to the performance. She looked like a peasant girl. The performance she did with Bruno Mars. Oh yeah, no. Also she was like fully like bent over. Her moves are like, she's back in her, she's back in her little monster era. Let her be crazy. We need more crazy in the world. Meat dress. Do it again. We need more meat. Yeah. We need more meat on the runway. Yeah. That's what we need. And then Chapel's looks were just like. There was someone else who had a waist wear. I got, there were very like chapel outfits. Someone had a waist wear moment and I can't remember. Someone else did have a waist wear moment. Corsets are here. Corsets are the thing right now. Corsets are in right now. I love it. Yeah, I love them. No more waists! Boycott the waists! You could only be a speck of dust. It is back, I mean it is. We've gone full circle. What, like early two thousands. Early two thousands. Skinny? Yeah. It is cyclical. It's crazy like it is, and we're back in the skinny era. Oh God. That's terrifying. Yeah. The thigh gap 2025. D bring it back. Bring back the gap. Thigh gap is crazy. Bring back the gap. I remember, like I remember being in high school and girls would talk about. Or be self conscious about the fact that they didn't have a thigh gap. And I'm like, that's really bizarre. Like, That's crazy to want. Eat a burger. Eat a burger. And that will leave you. Eat a burger. Yeah. I'm so glad we dug into eating burgers. That was deep. That was a deep hole. We did dig deep. So much for listening. That was crazy. What a crazy way to start February.
