The 59th annual Grammy Awards, a yearly event to celebrate music only loved by SiriusXM listeners who drive a Buick, recognized a new class of white artists for their efforts in being white and musicians.

For the first time ever, this year’s ceremony took place in Portland, Ore., to better reach out its demographic audience of Caucasians. Many artists from all over the world were in attendance, including African artists such as white teen pop star Tray Sifan and the all white rock band Kolngos in an effort to increase diversity in its telecast.

In addition, the academy has begun to recognize those artists who have also shown concern about the lack of diversity in their music and have thus started to appropriate other cultures to increase awareness. The former “Hannah Montana “star Milli Cyfus was the winner of best appropriation of black culture in music, beating out artists like Lilly Alan, Taytay Swarft and Iggie Azeela.

“I want to thank Nikki Mayonaj, who has inspired me to find the good in me,” expressed Cyfus in her acceptance speech.

Another highly contended category, best artist who Kanye West is right to think does not deserve a Grammy over a nonwhite artist, ultimately went to Swarft, to absolutely no one’s relief. The barely country star thanked her all-white girl squad and her selectively tokenized black friends who have helped her realize things.

“I am such a feminist because white women deserve equal rights and also because it makes me a lot of money every time I say ‘feminism,’” Swarft said in her speech. “All Lives Matter, y’all. Except people of color and women who don’t like me. There’s a special place in hell for people who don’t support my brand of selective straight, white feminism!”

Artists Macklamemore, Mack Mailler and Gee-Easty were each recognized for their fight toward making rap music a more inclusive and diverse genre given that, in previous years, rappers have all been exclusively black.

“Hopefully this will inspire all the little white boys and girls who think they can’t accomplish their dreams because of their white skin that it is possible,” said Macklamemore, who in third grade suffered a scare when he thought he was gay, an experience that inspired him to write that Grammy winning song, “Same Love.”

The most awaited moment, however, came at the end of the evening ceremony, when the winner for best black musician of all-time was announced by social media influencer Kaylie Jeaner, who sported cornrows for the event. Nominees for this category included multiple Academy Award and Golden Globe winner, Prince; the often-called “King of Pop,” Michael Jackson, who holds the title for the best-selling album in the history of music and the most awards ever won by a musician; Aretha Franklin, who became the first female artist ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and the New Jersey artist Whitney Houston, whose song “I Will Always Love You” remains the best-selling single in music history.

The award went to the category’s underdog nominee, Becky Mackenzie, an up-and-coming white YouTube cover artist from Kentucky, Mont., who has gained prominence for celebrating black culture through her folk-pop covers of songs from her fellow nominees as well as other black artists. Her indie cover of James Brown’s “Say It Loud: I’m Black and Proud” garnered 3 million views in two hours.

“It’s an honor to just be nominated among so many artists I admire and whose music and struggles I relate to very much,” said Mackenzie in an emotional speech that received a standing ovation.

Many have commended the Recording Academy for taking a step toward the end of racism not only in music but in America society as a whole.
