It\u2019s been three days since the 63rd Annual Grammys aired but we just can\u2019t stop thinking about Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s<\/a> \u201cWAP\u201d performance. The women really went out all for their first televised performance of the song: From that massive stiletto heel slash stripper pole and the giant queen bed, to the dollar bills falling from the ceiling as the two icons owned the stage, they weren’t the only ones shaking with excitement. People still can’t stop talking about it.<\/p>\n

As anticipated, as soon as the performance was over critics’ fingers began to move almost as fast as the ladies dance moves, weighing in on the steamy visual. One person who really got themselves worked up in a tizzy was left-wing pundit Candace Owens. On Monday, Owens appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox show, calling the performance “an attack on American values, American traditions” and accused the artists of “actively trying to make children aspire to things that are grotesque.” “We are celebrating perversity in America,” Owens continued. If nothing else, “WAP” illustrates just how much conservative politicians detest women who show agency over their bodies and enjoying themselves, especially sexually.<\/p>\n
