She has 3 Album of the Year awards, Beyonce has 0??


I find it a shame (and racist) that the academy has yet to honor a black woman with the Album of the Year award since Lauryn Hill in the 90s!!! Beyonce also actually EARNED it finally this year, and yet she still lost to an uknown alternative singer.

While Taylor Swift is decent, I find it crazy she has prevailed three times in Album of the Year while Beyonce has yet to win once. Regardless if the Queen has won the most grammys of all time, she should have the top honor sitting on her mantel.

PS- Taylor Swift performed in Chicago and was charging $5-10K per seat! It was awful, traffic was everywhere, tourists were inconsiderate. You would think the girl could have the decency to charge less for her concerts. Not to mention every hotel upcharged 400% because she was there. I wish she would just go away.

Recent top 10 songs of The Billboard Hot 100 were almost entirely made up of Taylor Swift's latest album songs, so you can't say she did not earn it.

Jon Batiste, OutKast, Bruno Mars, and Herbie Hancock are all black and have won Album of the Year after Lauryn Hill. I know you specified "black woman", but how is it racist when that race has been winning?
