JAKARTA - The 2022 Grammy Awards were successfully held on Sunday, April 3, 2022, United States time. The biggest award in the field of music was successfully held after being postponed due to the pandemic.

There were many surprises but also awkward moments from the 2022 Grammy Awards. Not a few netizens were confused by the incident. Here are five weird moments from the 2022 Grammy Awards:

The Absence of Big Singers

Many have questioned the presence of singers such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and others. Swift, who has several nominations, opted out of the big event.

"How can Taylor Swift, who has received so many nominations, be absent from the Grammys? What about Beyonce? Many big names are not present today," wrote one fan.

Louis CK's win

Comedian Louis CK wins the 2022 Grammy for Best Comedy Album. This award is her first win since she sexually assaulted her in 2017.

It is known in 2017, there were five women who claimed the comedian harassed them. Netizens also questioned why Will Smith was canceled while Louis CK as the perpetrator of sexual harassment was still appreciated.

Presence of the President of Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears in a video at the Grammys stage. He talks about music and the war that is going on in Ukraine.

“On our soil, we fought Russia who brought a tragic silence with a bomb. Death silences. Fill the silence with your music. Fill today to share our story,” said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"They actually asked the president of Ukraine to make a speech video for the Grammys?" asked a netizen.

Justin Bieber Censorship

Justin Bieber as one of the nominees sang Peaches with Giveon and Daniel Caesar. The song has some harsh words that Bieber still sings but is not censored by the television.

Fans also feel confused because at least four times the word "B****" has not been censored at all by television.

Doja Cat Late

Doja Cat received a Grammy award for Best Pop Duo Performance with SZA. It turned out that Doja Cat was in the toilet when the announcement was made so she immediately ran towards the stage.

SZA who was using a cane also had a hard time getting to the stage. Luckily, Doja Cat made it to the stage just in time.

"I've never peed so fast in my life," said Doja Cat.
