In “Really didn’t expect to beat BTS and Coldplay, simultaneously” news: Newly minted Grammy winners Doja Cat and SZA really did not seem to be ready to pick up their awards from a Las Vegas stage during the 64th annual Grammy awards ceremony.

The duo won tonight for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, for their song “Kiss Me More.” Their response was a two-part textbook performance in “Wait, what?” starting with SZA overcoming crutches, high heels, and an exceedingly long train on her dress to manage the Grammy stairs. (God bless Lady Gaga for helping her to not break her neck during the approach.) Her first, momentous words: “Girl, you went to the bathroom for like five minutes, are you serious?”

This, addressed to her collaborator Doja Cat, who was busy rushing to the stage, and who opened her own address to the assembled august luminaries with, “Listen, I’ve never taken a piss so fast in my whole life.” It’s about as human a moment as a tightly choreographed awards show like this can produce.

After getting themselves, y’know, settled, the duo remained deeply emotional in their acceptance speeches. “SZA, you are everything to me,” said Doja Cat, who made headlines late last month by suggesting she might soon be leaving the music business. “I’m glad you made it back in time,” SZA responded, while also thanking her family and fans for the Grammy win.

Then, Doja Cat took the mic again. “I like to downplay shit,” she admitted, wiping tears from her eyes. “But this is a big deal.” And, really, isn’t that awards show reality? One minute you’re joking about taking a piss in the midst of one of the biggest moments of your career, the next you’re projecting some genuine emotion into a public appreciation for your work. It was strangely moving and sweet and also, yes, very hilarious, because, seriously: What a time to pick for a bathroom visit!

    So, Ms Diamini did not quit the music business as promised?Quelle surprise!

      Collecting a prize for work already completed isn’t the same thing as continuing to make new work.

    My wife’s little sister used to love this person. But her internet history is full of some pretty homophobic and racist stuff. She kinda sucks, AV club.

    I only know about her via my sister-in-law. Didn’t exactly make a great first impression.

      This article is about two people… which one are you referring to?

      • outrider-av says:

        I vaguely recall Doja Cat associating with far-right folks but apparently I didn’t care enough to remember the details.So, uh, I guess my recommendation is to not listen to me and maybe google to double-check if any of this is accurate.

        • yesidrivea240-av says:

          I barely know anything about Doja so I guess I’ll have to see if I can find something about it.

        • nilus-av says:

          There is a Vulture “article” about it but I am not sure its in a language I can read. I tried Google translate but it did not help.  https://www.vulture.com/2020/05/doja-cat-career-controversy-timeline-dr-luke-racism.html

            offensive lyrics like “Now we both look Asian,” referencing a stereotype to describe the effect weed has on her eyes.From the linked article;I’m not defending her, but I find it funny that she’s being called out for this when plenty of other rappers have used this line or something similar to it, in the last 10 years. Where’s the outrage for them too?

      • akabrownbear-av says:

        The headline is only about one person and you can assume 50%+ of people commenting on an article only read the headline before rushing to the comment section to add their thoughts. So I am going to assume OP means Doja Cat.

        • yesidrivea240-av says:

          I made that assumption as well, but I wanted to confirm it with the OP. I don’t know anything about SZA or Doja, though I was a bit perplexed by their comment and curious as to who it was supposed to be directed at.

          • captainbubb-av says:

            SZA is cool and hasn’t done anything too terrible (as far as I know), besides keeping us in suspense since her excellent debut album came out nearly five years ago.

      • precious-tritium-av says:

        Ah, doja cat. I do not know who the other woman is. 

      • destron-combatman-av says:

        The person who won, who is featured in the headlines.

    • deb03449a1-av says:

      Same, I feel like that hasn’t been talked about and resolved? Did she apologize even? A lot of people are dumb idiot teenagers, but you gotta apologize and demonstrate growth, you don’t just get a free pass because it’s been 10 years.

  • Keego94-av says:

    “Listen, I’ve never taken a piss so fast in my whole life.” She’s a “classy” lady…

  • solesakuma-av says:

    Wow, the article about the Paraguay dust up is so fucking one-sided. The drama started because she complained about the fans not being there after their city had been flooded! People replied saying ‘… dude we were there the days before, you didn’t come out!’ and then she couldn’t handle the heat.And then US media reported on it as she being tired of unrealistic expectactions when she was complaining about people not waiting for her AFTER A FLOOD.

  • nilus-av says:

    I am still not convinced that “Doja Cat” one of those internet meme cats.  Like the rainbow one or whatever.  

  • joystuck-av says:

    So SZA is pronounced scissor. I did not know that. AVClub, edumacate me.

  • destron-combatman-av says:

    I like how she used to get naked on racist 4chan chatrooms for neo-nazis.
