Victoria Monét reflects on the harsh reality of winning a Grammy: “The way people celebrate you as an underdog, and the moment you win, switch, is really alarming.(…) Because it’s only great until you actually get it, to some people.”

It’s still so jarring when you hear you hear her speak and you realize Ariana’s 2019 speaking voice was entirely based on her
Yeah. Some people are happy for you and want to help you, but as long as you’re behind them.
wtf that’s ariana…
Yeah I remember when she won she was against Noah Kahan in some categories or maybe it was just brand new artist and his fanbase was livid. It’s like ok he lost but why were attacking someone else for that. Not her fault she got picked.
There are only two tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want. The other is getting it.
That’s a really honest and important perspective from her, when the goal is finally achieved, instead of consistent celebration, there can sometimes be distance, comparison or even criticism.
maybe going to the usher/chris brown concert will lift her spirits.
It’s the same thing with winning an Oscar.
It’s crazy to see on Oscar/movie subs how some people will root for someone or a movie to win an Oscar in the lead up to the ceremony but once it actually wins an Oscar, they immediately turn on that performance or movie.
They want to see you rise. They don’t want you to reign.
