The Grammys Got Best New Artist Wrong

Описание: WATCH THE GRAMMYS WITH ME LIVE ON PATREON FOR FREE:   / swiftologist   The Grammys are about to decide who “counts” as Best New Artist, and I’m here to argue that the most important name on that ballot is Addison Rae. Not as a bit, not as irony, but seriously. In this video, I break down why the idea that she’s “just a TikToker” says more about how we police legitimacy in pop music than it does about her actual work, and why her debut album (written and produced entirely by three women) is one of the most conceptually interesting pop records of the year. We talk about what Best New Artist is actually supposed to reward, the weird archetypes the Academy loves, Addison’s failed first attempt at pop stardom, the leaks that made her “cool,” the meticulous rebrand, and how her hyper-feminine, fame-obsessed pop universe is being misread as vapid instead of intentional. You don’t have to like Addison Rae, but you do have to be honest about why you’re holding her to a different standard than everyone else in this category!
