Woke Grammys Show How Out of Touch Entertainment Industry Is Who cares? by Daniel Greenfield

Every entertainment industry awards show can be reduced to ridiculous outfits and woke special pleading acceptance speeches in which millionaires impassionately proclaim their love for drag queens, illegal aliens or Hamas, and in which most of the country (except for their deranged fan bases) look at them like clowns.
The Grammys, probably the first major awards show since Trump took office (unless I missed one), was no exception, celebrating its out-of-touchness by thumbing its nose at country music fans and then platforming Shakira and Lady Gaga to attack Trump and stand by illegal aliens and transgender activists.
The sum of it though would add up to ‘who cares’.
Kamala tested the power of celebrities and found them wanting at best. The public will spend a fortune going to see Taylor Swift lip sync but doesn’t care whom she endorses. The last time anyone effectively used celebrities in a political context was Barack Obama and he did it by appearing to become one of them.
Celebrities couldn’t help Kerry or Hillary, and it’s not at all clear that they can help any candidate at all.
Somehow celebrity culture has become an even stranger echo chamber over the years. A showcase for the mentally disturbed, (so of course Kanye West showed up), and for the just plain grotesque.
And at this point in time, having celebrities in your political corner is just a way to seem even more out of touch.
