Grammys 2024 labeled a 'joke' as Beatles win Best Music Video robbing off 'groups that still exist'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: At the 2024 Grammy Awards, The Beatles secured the Best Music Video for a new dream-like animated clip accompanying 'I'm Only Sleeping.' This unexpected triumph left spectators surprised, as the band continued to receive accolades despite most of the founding members being officially deceased.
The Beatles garnered the Best Video honor at the Grammy Premiere Ceremony, where the majority of the year's awards are presented. The animated 'I'm Only Dreaming' video, released in November 2022 to promote the extended reissue of their Revolver album, played a pivotal role in this achievement.
The Beatles emerged victorious in the category, surpassing nominees such as 'Rush' by Troye Sivan, 'Count Me Out' by Kendrick Lamar, 'What Was I Made For" by Billie Eilish, and 'In Your Love' by Tyler Childers.
On X, users expressed disbelief, with one asking, "Ain’t the Beatles dead???" Another questioned, "Now why have *the Beatles* just won over troye."
