Harry Styles betrayed his boy band roots Sunday night when his Grammy Album of the Year acceptance speech seemed headed in one direction, but suddenly took a sharp turn south.
The “Sign of the Times” singer ended a pretty standard acceptance speech by saying, “That doesn’t happen very often to people like me.”
That remark rubbed some viewers the wrong way considering he was up against the likes of Born Puerto Rican Bad Bunny and Beyoncé – whose respective wins would mean the first album in Spanish to win the award or the first black woman to win the award since 1999.
