However, as liberal and conservative figures in Hollywood vocalize their beliefs in one form or another, there are some Americans who are against political grandstanding at awards shows like the aforementioned. Their argument asserts that since people of all political backgrounds tend to watch the Grammy Awards, perhaps excluding politics might not be such a bad idea.
Last night, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley tweeted that the Grammys should remain apolitical:
I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don’t ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it.

Political grandstanding at the Grammys and other awards shows has increased considerably since President Trump’s time in office. This has annoyed some Americans to the extent of them boycotting certain movies with particular actors/actresses or simply not tuning into various shows, such as the Grammy Awards.
