Bebe Rexha has been nominated for not one, but two Grammy awards this year, and regardless of your musical tastes, there’s no denying the recognition is well-deserved. Unfortunately, though, despite the fact that this should be an exciting time for the singer-songwriter — win or lose, just being acknowledged for her work speaks volumes — Rexha’s nominations for Best New Artist and Country Duo/Group Performance are being overshadowed by yet another fashion-industry faux-pas. Long story short, apparently some fashion designers won’t make Bebe Rexha’s dress for the Grammy Awards because — wait for it — the performer is a size 6/8. The “Meant To Be” vocalist took to Instagram to respond to these designers for what seems to be their total rejection of women who don’t fit into typical runway sizes, and needless to say, Rexha’s video is worth watching, and her message is worth spreading.
On Jan. 21,2019, Rexha uploaded a video to her Instagram account to clue fans in on the situation. Dressed in a black hoodie with a gold nameplate around her neck, it felt fitting that the artist wore minimal makeup as she communicated the dilemma to her social media followers, because the best terminology I can think of to describe her delivery would be something along the lines of unfiltered and raw.
To set the scene, Rexha began the video by stating that she’s been nominated for her first two Grammy awards — an experience that she described as “the coolest thing ever.
