After receiving the award, Billie focused all her attention on Megan Thee Stallion.
"You deserve it. You had a year that I think is untouchable. You are a queen. Really, this award goes to her. Can you applaud Megan Thee Stallion, please? ” - said Billie.
Megan was awarded three prizes, "Best Young Artist", "Best Rap Song" and "Best Rap Performance". According to Billie and many others, she should have won the "Record of the Year" for the song "Savage" in collaboration with Beyonce.
“Ata [Billie dhe Finneas] nuk duken të lumtur që fituan. Ata duket sikur thonë, ‘Oh jo, dikush tjetër e meriton këtë’,” u shpreh dikush në Twitter. Të tjerë njerëz, e akuzojnë Billie-n “performative wokeness”.
Wokeness ose Woke është që term që daton që prej vitit 1940 dh i referohet si koncept ndërgjegjësimit për çështje dhe lëvizje shoqërore dhe është lidhur kryesisht me kauzat progresive, të drejtat e njerëzve, problemet me racizmin etj. “Performative Wokeness” përdoret për të përshkruar një shfaqje, performancë sipërfaqësore ose shtirje për t’u solidarizuar me njerëzit e tjerë.
Njerëz të tjerë e krahasojnë Billie-n me Adele, e cila në vitin 2017 ia dedikoi çmimin “Albumi i vitit” Beyonce-s.
"I hate it when white people do it," wrote actor Jeremy O. Harris. Chrissy Teigen, meanwhile, came to the defense of Billie Eilish. "Winning the 'Record of the year' slanders him because you can not enjoy it when they say why he does not deserve it. It's just stupid. "People slander him, not the winner of 'Record of the year,'" she wrote on Twitter.
However, countless people appreciated Billie's speech as very sincere. If they were to give even one prize for modesty, Billie would probably have won it.
