People think Miley Cyrus just had a super shady reaction to Lady Gaga winning Grammy over her

Both music stars were up for Best Pop Vocal Album at tonight's Grammys (February 1)

People are sharing their thoughts on Miley Cyrus' reaction to losing out to Lady Gaga at this evening's Grammys.

Both Cyrus and Gaga were nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album, alongside the likes of Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Teddy Swims.

The usual etiquette is that you at least pretend to look happy for the person who wins the award over you, but sometimes that's easier said than done — something which the likes of Angela Bassett knows all too well.

Teyana Taylor and Nikki Glaser announced Gaga as the winner and the camera panned to show the 'Abracadabra' songstress, putting her face into her hands and bursting into tears.

The camera then panned to fellow nominee Carpenter, who was stood up and clapping for Gaga, before it went to Cyrus and her new fiancé, Maxx Morando.

Cyrus and Morando remained seated as those around them stood for Gaga, and the 'Flowers' hitmaker looked a little bit jaded.

Eagle-eyed Grammys viewers spotted Cyrus' reaction.

One said on Twitter: "Miley Cyrus not standing or clapping when Gaga won…."

Another labeled Cyrus as appearing to be 'salty as hell'.

A third went on: "Now I need an explanation on why Miley sat for Gaga…."

Others questioned if Cyrus and Gaga have beef with one another.

See the awkward moment here:



In her speech, Gaga thanked her partner Polansky for all of his support.

"I have to say thank you first to my partner Michael," she gushed. "I love you so much. You are by my side every single day in a way that I can't thank you enough for. You worked so hard with me on this record and all year. So I love you and thank you."

Another big talking point of this evening has been Chappell Roan's NSFW dress on the red carpet.

'The Subway' singer rocked up tonight's star-studded event in a very revealing dress that included detailing attached to her nipples.

Breaking down her body language, expert Darren Stanton said her confidence was 'off the scale'.

"Off the scale confidence from Chappell Roan. She puts her hands behind her back, which shows a clear confidence, and someone who feels comfortable in their body and not afraid to be photographed," he told UNILAD.

"Being pictured and in the limelight appears to act as a confidence boost to her. She’s outgoing and very brash, I’ve not seen levels like this in a very long time on a red carpet. She flashes a ‘chin thrust’ gesture, which is a clear sign of strength."

The most shocking Grammys snubs that got everyone talking

Best New Artist: Esperanza Spalding vs everyone else in the category (2011)

Cast your mind back to 2011: Adele had us all belting out 'Someone Like You', LMFAO dropped 'Party Rock Anthem', and Maroon 5 gave us 'Moves Like Jagger'.

One person I never heard anyone recommending me to add to my playlist, however, was Esperanza Spalding - and if you said 'who?', you aren't the only one. I'm sure the American Bassist has her audience, but in 2011, she got a whole new audience of people who were p*ssed off with her for beating out now-powerhouses Drake, Justin Bieber and Florence and the Machine. She also won over Mumford & Sons, but, yeah.

Best New Artist: Fun over Frank Ocean (2013)

The clue's in the band name, the song 'We Are Young' was a fun musical experience with catchy lyrics, and Janelle Monáe featured. That being said, Frank Ocean has released only two studio albums - the last one being in 2016 - and the world has not stopped demanding more.

I haven't reached the corner of the internet where people are demanding Fun to release new music...

Album of the Year: Beck’s Morning Phase over Beyoncé’s Beyoncé (2015)

No shade to Beck, I'm sure the album was just fine, but this snub really made people consider whether or not the Grammys were even worth celebrating.

The AOTY category is always a contentious one, but from the spontaneous drop to reinventing the album experience, Beyoncé won that year - even if she doesn't have the gong to show for it.

Album of the Year: Adele’s 25 over Beyoncé’s Lemonade (2017)

Another snub for Beyoncé? Now, this one hurts because both Bey and Adele are powerhouses in the music industry who both had great albums that year. However, Beyoncé's Lemonade was a cultural phenomenon that has gone down in history, being named the Rolling Stones' best album of the 21st century.

Song of the Year: Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' over Kendrick Lamar's 'Alright' (2016)

Ed Sheeran is quite a divisive artist when it comes to popularity: some have him as their first dance at their wedding, while others turn off the radio whenever one of his earworms are played.

That being said, the numbers speak for themselves and with 3,018,159,869 streams and over a million daily streams, his success is undeniable. However, 'Alright' by Kendrick Lamar, much like Beyoncé's Lemonade, has undeniable cultural impact. With Pharrell producing, it's an homage to the What's Going On? era and its ability to get everyone in a room jumping; Kendrick really was robbed.
