It is to be noted that he won the award for a song 'Shape of You' that goes around an attractive girl whom Sheeran saw in a night-club. Social media users highlighted the point that he won in a category dominated by women and also slammed the decision makers for coming back to the objectification of women.
What surprised netizens, even more, was that he was not even present in the function to receive the honor. He won two Grammy awards, the second one was for Best Pop Vocal Album. Soon after the announcement netizens started trolling.
Some asserted that he won in a category dominated by women
While others stuck to the point that the award should have gone to someone else.
