The Grammy Awards show this year was an absolute disgrace. Billie Eilish insulted the country with her stupid woke comments and Trevor Noah insulted President Trump.
The one silver lining for all of this is that not very many people were watching. In fact, viewership was way down this year, especially among young people.
There was a time when people all over the country tuned in for awards shows like this, but woke celebrities ruined it all with their ignorant political remarks. People have been ignoring them in increasing numbers almost every year.
FOX News reports:
Grammy Awards viewership plummets 20% among young adults in final year on CBS
CBS’ presentation of the 68th Grammy Awards on Sunday night shed significant viewers compared to recent years.
The politically charged event that saw several celebrities use the music award ceremony to criticize the Trump administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) averaged 14 million total viewers, an 11% drop compared to last year and a 20% decline compared to 2024.
When it came to the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54, the Grammys averaged 5 million viewers compared to 5.7 million last year, for a 13% decline. The event also dropped 19% among adults age 18-49 and 10% of viewers at least 55 years old.
The biggest dropoff came among young viewers, as the Grammy Awards averaged 2 million viewers age 18-34 compared to 2.4 million last year for a 20% decline.
The Grammy Awards will move to Disney networks and streaming services in 2027 after 54 years on CBS. The 2026 edition featured several artists wearing “ICE OUT” pins, including Billie Eilish, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kehlani, Joni Mitchell, Carole King and Brandi Carlile.
People are talking about this on Twitter/X.
GRAMMYS ratings down 9% because NOBODY cares what celebrities think about Politics. If you don’t believe me ask Presidents Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

There was a time when this could have been fixed. If someone told all of the people at the show to stop insulting half of the country.
Now those days are gone. The audience members who might have watched the show are tired of these smug, self-important jerks and are not coming back.
