Phoebe Bridgers Criticizes Former Recording Academy CEO

News summary

Phoebe Bridgers, alongside her Boygenius band members Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, used their Grammy win for best rock performance to send a strong message to the former Recording Academy president Neil Portnow, who was accused of sexual violence. Bridgers called out Portnow for his previous statement that women needed to 'step up' to be nominated for Grammys.
