The View Alyssa Farah Griffin Blames Jay-Z For Diminishing Taylor Swift’s Historic Night

The ladies of “The View” had a lot to say about Jay-Z using his Global Impact Award speech at the Grammys to criticize the recording academy for not giving Beyoncé any album of the year award.

While Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t particularly bothered about Beyoncé not receiving any album of the year at the Grammys (she has collected 32 Grammy awards so far), Sara Haines insisted Jay-Z made a “powerful point.” And yet for “The View’s” resident Swiftie, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Jay-Z’s speech was in poor taste.

Alyssa Milano Griffin is proving that she’s a Swiftie through and through by not standing by anything she perceives as a slight to the global superstar.

“This is a long-standing thing. I think the country has never gotten over that [Beyoncé] didn’t win Album of the Year for I Am… Sasha Fierce, and this goes back to the Taylor drama, she won for Fearless that year. Objectively, I can say I think Beyoncé should’ve won for I Am… Sasha Fierce,” she said.

“I just don’t like… it feels like taking away from artists who are winning that night. Beyoncé has been such a support system to Taylor Swift.

She showed up to the opening of her Eras Tour movie, Taylor went to hers, and it felt like it was taking away from her making history that night by winning the most Albums of the Year,” she noted, referencing Swift’s eventual Album of the Year win for “Midnights.”

Sunny Horstin – Defends Jay-Z For the Courage Of Standing Up For His Wife Beyoncé

When panelist Sara Haines pointed out that Beyoncé was not nominated for this year’s album of the year, legal expert Sunny Hostin revealed that she actually admired Jay-Z’s courageous speech.

“I liked that he had the courage to say it for his wife. I like when a couple whose had a tumultuous relationship at times, you see that longevity, you see that love and see them stick up for each other. I liked that part of it. I don’t know that it makes sense that Beyoncé has so many awards and never won Album of the Year.

Renaissance was just an incredible moment for everyone, for American culture,” she observed. “I think there’s some sort of discrepancy there in terms of who this country decides is the pop princess, or who this country makes the determination for. Sometimes, I don’t think the country gets it right.”
