The 64-year-old singer slammed people who chose to focus on her face at the 2023 Grammy Awards. She presented Sam Smith and Kim Petras (the first trans woman to win a Grammy) ahead of their performance for ‘Unholy.’
She said that instead of focusing on what she said in her speech “which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim“, people only talked about “Close-up photos of me Taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that Would distort anyone’s face!!”
The legendary singer said that she has been caught “in the glare of ageism and misogyny“. She stated that society continues to punish women who are “strong willed, hard-working and adventurous.”
