#junos 2026

Last year’s Junos were a lot about how Canada is not the United States. This year’s Junos were about how Canada is Canadian.

“Her fan clubs won’t even mind, why do you all care if she didn’t turn up?” Her fan clubs are also just run by American fans, this is not exactly their concern though, is it? They care whether she turns to to perform at the (American) MTV VMAs. They care if she’s performing at their shows (she’s more than happy to). Literally no one expected her to turn up, but to not even send an acceptance message prerecorded (even Drake, who STILL has beef with the Junos from 2011, did that. Though not for himself), when the whole country was questioning her over the US Olympics ad, at a time like this, when she posted a temporary and very half hearted ‘yall know I’m Canada down’ story and kept the baffling post up— do I believe that at all? I don’t think she cares. She’s American as far as she’s concerned, I don’t know why she bothers even submitting herself for consideration to the Junos. Submissions cost money. I don’t know why the Junos choose her, because that album was NOT the Canadian album of the year. In the least. Nor was she Canadian artist of the year. I could only accept song of the year because is true that Sports Car was big everywhere. Nothing else! Save yourself trying to lure her to Hamilton and give the award to a more deserving artist.

i love canadian music and people and awards so much
