Honestly, it doesn't mean much if you don't win a Grammy. Their criteria for being nominated, let alone winning, have always been finnicky. Tons of smaller artists get overlooked simply because their name isn't interesting enough on a ballot. Whereas other artist seem to automatically win due to their hype value.

Of course it's really great if you manage to win at any given time, and I don't want to discredit winners at all. But The Grammys are anything but objective or comprehensive in their voting.

As for Miley: her reputation as a provocateur really overshadowed her musicianship at the start of her "adult" career. With plenty "more palatable" candidates around, I suppose the Acadamy didn't consider her as a serious artist until now.

The fact that After Hours wasn't nominated for any Grammy just says it all.

It's simply about how much you're liked by people within the academy that's all.

II Most Wanted is sooo good

And I agree with her, she was long due for a Grammy

Am I missing something? Is it already grammy season?

I feel like she says she doesn’t care about it but she cares A LOT

[Bradley 59,966]

She has a point but the impact on culture part wasn't necessary.

Love Miley down but let's not act like her shenanigans to shed her Disney image from 2013 up until 2017 didn't overshadow her artistry a little bit. People had a hard time taking her seriously for a long time.
