Billie Eilish Didn’t Win A Grammy And I’m Pissed —Here’s Why
Let’s make one thing clear: you cannot be nominated for a Grammy and not be wildly talented. We’re on the same page.
However, you can win a Grammy and still not be that gworl!
The f*cking vicarious disrespect I’m feeling from my favorite album of 2024 not winning a single fu*king Grammy. I am SEETHING.
These are the categories Billie was nominated for and who won:
Best Dance Pop Recording: Charli XCX for "Von Dutch"
Best Pop Solo Performance: Sabrina Carpenter for "Espresso"
Record of the Year: Kendrick Lamar for "Not Like Us"
Best Pop Vocal Album: Sabrina Carpenter for "Short N Sweet"
Song of the Year: Kendrick Lamar for "Not Like Us"
I popped my p*ssy to all these songs! Von Dutch? I sped down I-85 screaming the lyrics, pretending I was in Tokyo Drift. Streamed Sabrina constantly. Played Not Like Us every chance I got—f*ck Drake!
But Billie…she put her heart out there. I know my humor gives bimbo, but I am a woman of depth. Billie made me listen, think, feel. Hit Me Hard and Soft was so personal and profound for me, I hate it didn’t get anything.
Thank you, Billie & Finneas for this WORK OF ART. Let’s rank these songs from best to worst (they’re all great) and find a reason for this injustice:
Skinny (Song Rank: 4/10)
Says a lot without saying too much.
"When I get off the stage, I’m a bird in a cage. I’m a dog in a dog pound."
Fame is enticing, but Billie makes it clear—there’s no freedom in it. The album feels like a search for authentic connection.
The thing about weight loss/body image (speaking from experience) is it messes with your mind sometimes because, internally, you know you’re beautiful, talented, and deep—but love interests (or society at large) only see the exterior.
They see what they think they know about you. Artists crave being known beyond the surface.
This is why I love the water imagery of the album. Everything is so well-thoughtout.
"People say I look happy just ‘cause I got skinny, but the old me is still me, and maybe the real me, and I think she’s pretty. And I still cry…”
Ooof.
Realizing you were never the issue, but that objectification is so normalized? Tough pill to swallow knowing that sometimes people don’t want to love you, no matter how much you love them. They just want what they can get out of being in your presence.
Lunch (Song Rank: 7/10)
First reaction: Girls who post this to their story want you to know they’re a little bit bi.
This is the most dyked out song I’ve ever heard. It’s giving the LGBTQ+ version of Munch by Ice Spice. Billie, you a munch!
Chihiro (Song Rank: 3/10)
Idk how to pronounce this, but I like the beat!
Eerie vibes. That hee-heee? Michael Jackson coded. Billie to me is what SZA is to some of y’all. What is she saying? Someone better open up the door!
Lyric check: I pulled them up. Still don’t know what she’s saying.
Music video research: Turns out, it’s about loving someone so much you hate them. Felt.
Birds of a Feather (Song Rank: 2/10)
First reaction: Lover girl anthem. This is my wedding song, my birth song, my funeral song.
It’s perfect. Like, imagine me jumping on my bed, scream-singing it. This is Billie’s Dreams (Fleetwood Mac). It deserved every award it didn’t receive.
Wildflower (Song Rank: 8/10)
Wildflower is a song about falling in love with someone, maybe a close friend you consoled during a hard time. Accident waiting to happen.
The Greatest (Blind Rank: 1/10)
This song is for the ones who gave everything to someone with no capacity to receive it. The self-sacrificing, people-pleasing, “let me just love you hard enough” heart somehow always gets met with inequality of emotion.
“Made it all look painless. Man, am I the greatest?”
Reflecting on my thoughts from Skinny because the chords are the same… trying to find words. I’m okay with being wrong, but could it be that sometimes, it’s not that people “don’t deserve love,” but their hard heart just can’t receive it?
I get the whole “go to counseling” argument, but also understand the hopeless feeling of thinking it won’t work. Third argument: it’s just one-sided and the other person just wants to have options.
“You could’ve been the greatest.”
Who knows, it’s Billie Eilish. Either way, free my GOAT from the perils of unrequited love.
L’Amour De Ma Vie (Song Rank: 6/10)
Translation: The love of my life.
If you watch Southern Charm or Summer House, this song is the musical embodiment of Madison LeCroy and Ciara Miller’s Times Square Express ad. Take that, you crusty, dusty, musty, broke-down, low-down heifer Austen Kroll! Billie, you ate that!
The Diner (Song Rank: 5/10)
The Diner is about a person who does their studies.
It’s giving "It’s me, it’s Papa Bear." The whole Joe from You vibe. I don’t hate it. I get it. Sometimes I don’t want love—I want worship.
Like, stalking isn’t love… but it can be flattery from the right person, no?
The second I catch feelings, I do my research and expect my crush to do the same. Like asking me for my address to pick me up for a date? That’s crazy. How do you not know that already? I been had your address. You not focused.
Bittersuite (Song Rank: 9/10)
I love her spooky songs. This one’s giving Verity.
It’s the "your face is perfect, but I mustn’t have anything to do with you" of it all. I’d sing this to Armie Hammer.Those whispers at the end… she’s freaked out a lil’ bit. Needs deliverance.
Blue (Song Rank: 10/10)
The way every theme and lyric from the album ties together here? Award-winning ART.

Final Thoughts
Hit Me Hard and Soft is not just an album—it’s my heart and soul. Billie really said, “You will listen, and you will feel things.” And I did.
You tell me- am I in the wrong? Who received a Grammy and didn’t deserve it?
