In a series of tweets, television personality and journalist Piers Morgan has expressed his views on pop star Beyonce's Grammys 2017 parade, calling the performance 'narcissistic' and her acceptance speech as 'awful'.
While the world is applauding Queen Bey for her dazzling act that celebrated pregnancy, Morgan felt the other way and tweeted "(it) seemed heavier on the narcissism than the music."
'Twitter mob' didn't like his comment and defended the singer, to which Morgan replied, "Nobody really thought it was very good, but everyone feels compelled to say it was anyway. Twitter mob rule overrides honesty."
He further said, "Twitter lemmings now exploding with fury that I expressed an opinion about Beyonce's performance they all secretly agree with... #GRAMMYs"
Beyonce also picked up the trophy for 'Lemonade' and said in her acceptance speech she made the album to "confront issues that make us uncomfortable."
The 51-year-old had something to comment on the speech as well.
He tweeted, "Awful acceptance speech too. Looked bored as hell reading it. Come on Beyonce, you're better than this.
