I can’t deny JB’s talent, but I’m thinking about how interesting it is that when a woman shows up nude, it’s shocking or perhaps attention seeking. But when a man does it, it’s art. Or in Justin’s case, a clever business decision, if we go by the NYT commentary of his performance: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/style/justin-bieber-boxers-grammys.html
noted!!! the different ways men and women are evaluated at these events is crazy. --- it's funny, audiences are so different. i didn't see much praising jb but i don't read nyt. i didn't see any dragging chappell roan but... ditto.

The only thing they said about Chappell Roan's naked dress (for example) was essentially just that she was more naked than anyone else: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/style/grammys-chappell-roan-naked-dress.html
