No, she isnt boycotting grammys for Mac
I only create this post because Ariana's stans narrative is still present, even among some people on this sub. Her history w grammys didnt start with Mac not winning one.
So she was nominated in 2017 for DW and didnt win, she performed in 2015 and was nominated there too. In 2018 she released sweetener that got a nom at 2019 grammys but she released some TUN stuff at the end of the year.
Basically, allegedly, she had an argument w the Academy because they wanted her to perform songs off of her nominated album and she wanted to perform TUN songs. They offered a compromise to perform both but she didnt perform at all. When she was at home, she had her twitter meltdown about Mac not winning even tho his family was invited, but Naomi, Mac's ex who was close to the family and was invited to his funeral (AG allegedly wasnt) commented. Ariana acted way more offended than people who were closest to him.
Then 2020 came out and she finally performed the songs she wanted, but didnt win. It seems it got to her because in the leaked studio sessions she sang "f the grammys" multiple times.
If im not mistaken, she got herself fully dressed on the grammys night in the gown in 2019 at her home, and was laying in her bed w a full make up on, it looked like she pretended to sleep through the whole thing or something lol.
Here is the tweet i talk about, the lyrics of the leaked studio session. The Billy she talks about is her producer according to Genius.
Edit: elaborating on the funeral: it was really private and she wasnt there. We can speculate, but she was still w Pete at that time and I doubt Mac's family wanted to see them together, her presence would attract more paps. Mac called her "old news" in an improv on YT and also accordinf to naomi, called their relationship an artificial sweetener. Considering all of this, it can be possible that she wasnt invited, esp that she was still w Pete at that time
edit 2: a speculative theory: maybe the meltdown was her trying to mask her own reasons for not liking the grammys, give her the "objective" one that makes her look like a better person? not attending because she was denied performing a specific song seems bratty, even for her, so yeah. now she can skip grammys when she wants and her fans will always pinpoint this to the mac situation
