Namjoon: [chugging coffee to stay awake] “I’m nervous... am I shaking?”

ARMYS:

The Grammys giving BTS the nomination for “Dynamite” under the Best Pop Dup/Group Performance is the very least they could have done. And to be quite honest, if they were to give them this nomination for any song this year it should have been for “ON.” Because of course, this song being their only all-English song shouldn’t go unaddressed. 

“Dynamite” should have been nominated for Song of the Year, but are we surprised when “Despacito” didn’t win in 2017? Map of the Soul: 7 should have been nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the very least, but are we surprised when My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy didn’t get the nomination in 2010? Or Nicki Minaj losing to Bon Iver in 2012? Not to mention The Weeknd not getting a single nomination this year. 

The Grammys continue to play politics and when it comes down to it, not receiving a nomination or an award has zero affect on BTS. It doesn’t take away from their hard work or their talents as artists. It doesn’t make their music any less impactful and it definitely doesn’t change how we feel about them. BTS will continue to change the world through their music and make history for years to come and the Grammys will continue to become more and more irrelevant. If this week has taught us anything, it’s that the Grammys that needs BTS, not the other way around.
