"Cancel the entire show": Twitter reacts to Dixie D'Amelio x Grammy Awards 2021

Most of the negative responses related to her rumoured appearance at the Grammy's has to do with the general perception that most people have about TikTok stars vis-à-vis accomplished music artists.

The age-old debate of TikTok stars exhibiting a lack of wholesome content continues to be an important part of internet discourse and was recently expressed in several reactions to Dixie D'Amelio and The Grammy Awards.

If @dixiedamelio actually performs at the Grammy’s, we all collectively cancel the entire show. No tiktoker is going to perform at the Scammy’s until Abel, Katy, Nicki, etc. get nominations, I don’t give two flying FUCKS

— ًjubs ♡’s bia (@91ESNYLT) December 24, 2020

this exactly. not to mention, she only has two songs, so it’s almost too soon in her career for her to be performing at the grammy’s..

— ashelinn (@TheTasteOfInk_1) December 25, 2020

it genuinely annoys me how these tiktokers are getting handed things because they have a big amount of followers when there’s so many artists out there who work their whole lives for this and then tiktokers are getting handed these things- it makes no sense

— gigi ᵒᵗ⁵ (@graceeliseex) December 24, 2020

From being labelled "privileged" to "unworthy", Dixie D'Amelio's comments were extremely harsh and coloured by the general perception towards most TikTok stars.

Dixie's sister, Charli, recently came out in support of her sister and urged her fans not to indulge in spreading hate online.

this also goes to every single supporter of mine that is saying means things about my sister at the end of the day family comes first and if you support me but put down my sister then you do not really support me

— charli d’amelio (@charlidamelio) December 26, 2020

Despite the wave of criticism online, D'Amelio commands a stellar fan following; courtesy of her TikTok fame, vlogs, gaming and lifestyle content.

Her songs and collaborations have been raking in impressive streaming numbers on the music front, especially on Spotify, where her Christmas duet with Liam Payne is doing great.

.@dixiedamelio & @LiamPayne's "Naughty List" had its biggest streaming day ever on Spotify yesterday, receiving 2,258,340 streams.https://t.co/kbTz92V9fT

While nothing has been confirmed, the mere mention of a rumoured Dixie D'Amelio Grammy performance is all it took to leave the Twitter community on edge.
