The Grammy Award was held on Sunday. While those winning awards used their plöatform to thank everyone who contributed to their success, this year, the stage was also used to criticize Donald Trump’s ‘private ICE army.’
The Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday. While the stars of the music business were celebrated as artists, songwriters, producers, and more, the gala also became a platform for many celebrities to speak out against Donald Trump and his administration.
Several artists spoke out against the administration’s deployment of ICE agents in cities across America. In the recent incident, Minneapolis and Saint Paul saw ICE operations that left two people dead. As of late, Portland has seen several protests against ICE, with one ending with the agents deploying tear gas.
Billie Eilish, Carole King, and Finneas O’Connell all wore specific pins with the text “ICE OUT.” Even Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber, who’ve been known to not address American politics, wore them.
Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Kehlani, and Rhiannon Giddens were among the other artists wearing protest apparel on the Grammys red carpet.
