Alessia Cara Faces and Fights Backlash After Winning the Best New Artist GRAMMY

At the GRAMMYs on Sunday, Alessia Cara won the highly-coveted Best New Artist trophy, beating out fellow newcomers Khalid, Julia Michaels, Lil Uzi Vert, and perhaps most surprisingly, SZA, who many thought might be able to take home the prize. While any name being called in that particular category typically causes a wave of praise and celebration for the new talent, this time around, there are a lot of people who are actually mad. Well, a lot more people than there usually are. 

Cara herself understands the disappointment and anger, but the singer has not wasted any time in telling everyone to shut it, and we agree.
