3 of the 5 AOTY nominees (i'm counting Brittany because she's the lead singer of Alabama Shakes) are black/mixed so if Taylor takes away a victory with an average pop album from them in a category where she has already won before then things will get messy next week (racism accusations). I cannot wait to see how things unfold.
It's amazing that people accuse the Grammy's of all things of being racist. Kanye, Bey, Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder, etc. all have 20+, far more than that of today's white musicians, but they're apparently bigoted against blacks because Macklemore won once.
Tiffany Pollard is intelligent (poor Casey Anthoney), witty (poor Casey Anthoney), relevant (poor Casey Anthoney) and not under a lifetime conservatorship (poor Casey Anthoney). She's allowed to do as she pleases without permission slips signed by her parents. She's able to speak a coherent sentence without a life coach on the side walking her through it. She's able to get plastic surgery that covers her sagging ugly body parts instead of making them more prominent. She isn't known for embarrassing a genre of music and turning a whole generation against it.
What I'm saying is, you have no room to speak on Queen.
Weekend sales at Red Lobster saw a significant boost from "Queen Bey," spiking 33 percent on Sunday over last year, company brass said.
"We are absolutely delighted with what we saw over the weekend, particularly the consumer sentiment that we saw expressed," Kim Lopdrup, CEO of Red Lobster, told CNBC. "It's clear that Beyonce has helped create some Red Lobster fans, and we are very grateful to her for that."
The restaurant traditionally experiences a spike in sales during this time of year due to their annual "Lobster Fest" promotion, but Lopdrup credits this weekend's boost to the R&B star. The company refers to it as the "Beyonce Bounce" and some of its employees have already begun renaming popular menu items after the pop star.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits are now Cheddar "Bey" Biscuits and their Bay Breeze drinks are "Bey" Breezes.
Red Lobster also saw an unexpected boost on social media over the weekend, garnering more than 300,000 tweets and trending on Twitter for the first time in the brand's history.
A response tweeted by the company earned more than 14,200 likes and 13,600 retweets — the most the company has ever received. Google searches for the brand also spiked, according to the company.
"We had an amazing weekend, particularly Super Bowl Sunday, which I think helps demonstrate the power of celebrity endorsement and pop culture," Lopdrup said.
It's kinda sad how Matt Bomer is forced to do those declining TV shows. He should be a huge film star but his old husband is probably too jealous of him getting adoration from young hunks and won't let that happen.
All these mediocre writers pretending they're bell hooks and talking about Beyoncé's "reclaiming of blackness" etc. Pitchfork turning into a Salon/Jezebel mess (Jessica Hopper ruined it, the bitch).
Christ, Beyoncé has a lot to answer for. Great message (though the video is miles better than the song), terrible impact on journalism.
