2021 Grammys viewership plummets from past years
Fox News
The 2021 Grammy Awards dropped in viewership by over 50% from last year’s ratings, despite historic wins for Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Megan Thee Stallion.
Notably, the numbers are based on early reports and have not been adjusted for viewership of the West Coast broadcast or out-of-home viewing. Final figures, which will be higher, will be available on Tuesday morning, but are not expected to bump the numbers nearly as high as previous years, per the Hollywood Reporter. About 18.69 million watched the show in 2020, meaning they lost over half of their audience. Last year’s broadcast received a 5.4 rating in the same demographic.
