Grammys Censors The Word ‘Measurements’ During Bruno Mars’ Performance — And Twitter Loses It

Someone’s finger definitely slipped on the Grammys censor button.

Bruno Mars and Cardi B performed the television debut of their joint single “Finesse” at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, but a mistaken censor during their performance caused a frenzy on Twitter.

The duo were decked out in ’80s-inspired outfits, similar to the ones they wore in their music video. Cardi even rapped part of her recent hit song “Bartier Cardi”.

But during Bruno’s verse in “Finesse”, instead of censoring “shut that sh** down”, the word “measurements” was silenced on-air, and Twitter viewers had a lot to say.

Why the hell did they censor "blame it on your measurements" Quit playing with my baby Bruno performance!#GRAMMYs

Did the Grammys just censor the word measurements but not any of the curse words in the song? What????

Hey #GRAMMYS: you just bleeped the word “measurements”. You don’t have to be so trigger happy with the censor button just because two brown people are onstage.

We can't say measurements? We done hired the censor team from the BET Awards?! #Grammys

Hopefully, this is a lesson for the person behind the censor button.
