Many fans are blaming the Grammys for using BTS for ratings.

“F*** you Grammys. You did this to @BTS_twt twice! #scammys #GRAMMYs you are a joke, you stole that award from them once again and kept that category to the end just for your stupid ratings,” wrote one fan.

Another person added: “I’m literally speechless. BTS is straight carrying the industry rn and they do this s*** again??? #scammys.”

During Sunday (3 April) night’s award ceremony in Las Vegas, BTS recruited Olivia Rodrigo for the performance of “Butter.”

The South Korean boy band channelled Mission: Impossible and James Bond for their choreography, jumping over laser beams and wearing all black.

The performance started with Rodrigo sharing a moment with V, as the band member went down to where the Best New Artist winner was sitting in the audience and whispered something in her ear.

During the performance, J-Hope stumbled onstage and tripped off a raised platform, and fell onto some stairs.

However, he managed to stay on his feet, rejoining the rest of the group and smiling.
