At last night's Grammy Awards, Beyonce officially became the most awarded artist in history, but the coveted Album of the Year award went to Harry Styles. He said in his acceptance speech, "This doesn't happen often to people like me," a line that felt like a slap in the face to many.

"Honestly, I can't think of the type of person this happens to," one viewer tweeted, while journalist Sam Sanders wrote, "'It doesn't happen to people like me' is the most white privileged thing ever uttered at an awards ceremony."

Moments after MTV News shared it on Twitter, Adele, also nominated for Album of the Year, looked bemused when Harry said, "This doesn't happen often to people like me": [She won for her album "25" over Beyonce's "Lemonade" When she did, she tearfully told the audience:" The artist of my life is Beyoncé". Adele even quipped, "There's a lemon in my lemonade," when asked later by Vogue magazine if she had her Album of the Year Grammy on display in her home.

But back to Styles. Early in his acceptance speech, he seemed to acknowledge the awkwardness of the award, saying, "It's obviously very important to remember that there is no 'best' in the music world," but he ended by saying, "This doesn't happen very often to people like me, and I'm very, very happy It is. Beyoncé was widely expected to win Album of the Year for "Renaissance," but the loss coincided with Beyoncé's previous losses in the category to white artists (she has lost to Taylor Swift, Beck, Adele, and now Styles at previous Grammy Awards), made the result even more frustrating for fans.

""This doesn't happen to people like me very often" IT LITERALLY ONLY HAPPENS TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU????" @ungodlywests tweeted, adding, "By the way, no black woman has won an AOTY since 1999."

Still, journalist Elle Hunt pointed out: to British ears, this is what Harry Styles means when he says "this doesn't happen to people like me," noting that "upper-class, well-parented people" make up the majority of British celebrities. He linked to an article in Vice, which pointed out. Journalist Kat Cardenas added, "I think what he's saying is that someone from a small working-class town with no connections can be one of the biggest artists in the world.

Beyonce, of course, reacted gracefully to Styles' victory, supporting him with a standing ovation.
