Watermelon Sugar was the best summer song of 2020! Harry’s soothing vocals and the fun music video won the fans’ hearts. And now, this song has become even more special for Harry as it got him his first Grammy award! Watermelon Sugar was nominated for the Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards 2021. Continue reading to find out the details regarding this amazing win and Harry’s reaction!
Harry Styles has become the first One Direction member to win at the Grammys. The 27-year-old gave a ground-breaking performance at the awards ceremony dressed in a black leather pantsuit (shirtless). He was visibly happy as soon as Watermelon Sugar was declared the winner for the Best Pop Solo Performance.
Harry thanked everyone who made this possible for him. He felt grateful for the win and kept his acceptance speech very short! Taylor Swift who dated Harry Styles for almost a year back in 2012 applauded her ex’s win. In fact, Harry was competing against Taylor Swift’s amazing song ‘Cardigan’ to win this category and he did it!
While Harry is celebrating his win, fellow One Direction member Zayn Malik couldn’t keep his anger for the Record Academy to himself. Zayn called out the Grammy’s racist behavior on his Twitter account. Twitter users were surprised at this because Zayn’s tweet on March 9th 2021 was a bit too late as the nominations for the Grammys came out in November 2020. However, he later clarified that his post was not about the nominations but rather the lack of transparency in the system.
Conclusion
Harry Styles has definitely outdone himself this time. Winning a Grammy at the young age of 27 is not easy and Harry did it! Olivia must be so proud of him. Do you think Harry deserved to win this category?
