The 65th Grammy Awards ceremony is being shredded by conservatives for featuring what has been described as a “Satanic” performance.
But MSNBC’s Joy Reid viewed the award show as a sign the liberal side had utterly defeated conservatives in the Culture wars. And on Monday, she devoted several minutes of her show to celebrating the perceived victory.
“I actually really enjoyed it,” Reid said. “Although I’m not sure everybody else did. It was, to put it mildly, a celebration of the very thing the American Right has turned into its latest anti-wokeness bogeyman: Diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
The host noted Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny kicked off the show by performing a song and singing 99% of it in Spanish. Then comedian Trevor Noah “walked and talked through a room that was diversity, equity, and inclusion in human form.”
Reid went on to note singer Brandi Carlile was introduced by her wife, and transgender artist Kim Petras won a Grammy.
“Black acting superstar Viola Davis became an EGOT, winning a Grammy to add to her Golden Globe, Oscar, and Tony awards,” she added.

Some other parts of the show Reid listed included singer Lizzo’s performance with her “choir of many sized singers,” and Beyoncé winning her 32nd Grammy. Additionally, she pointed out singer Harry Styles, who “frequently puts on dresses,” won Record of the Year. Finally, the host noted an “epic” 15-minute tribute to Hip-Hop.
