Multi-platinum recording artist (and, now, high-profile political activist) Taylor Swift reportedly canceled a planned but un-announced performance at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, Variety magazine reports, possibly in response to allegations that the Recording Academy, which runs the Grammy Awards, was engaged in “fixing” the nominations process, and tolerated a culture of sexual harassment and discrimination against female employees.
Ousted Recording Academy President and CEO Deborah Dugan is behind the allegations, telling a series of morning shows this week that the Grammy nominations process is “fixed,” and that former Grammy head, Neil Portnow, among others, actively resisted diversifying the pool of Grammy nominees, effectively shutting out female musicians and musicians of color, according to Harper’s Bazaar.
