If they wanted a predictable, one-note political lecture, they&#8217;d put on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/jimmy-kimmel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> show.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, Billie&#8217;s got bigger problems than fixing the Grammys. For starters, her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/billie-eilish-called-out-stolen-land-grammy-comments-while-owning-million-dollar-mansion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">&#8220;stolen land&#8221; rant<\/a> on Sunday night has turned her into a national punchline. My guess is she never saw this coming because nobody gets in trouble for stealing anything in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/gavin-newsom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Gavin Newsom&#8217;s<\/a> California. If you don&#8217;t believe me, you&#8217;ve never run an Ulta Cosmetics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/musics-biggest-stars-protest-ice-grammy-awards-amid-trumps-immigration-crackdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MUSIC\u2019S BIGGEST STARS PROTEST ICE AT GRAMMY AWARDS AMID TRUMP\u2019S IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet as we speak, the &#8220;Birds of a Feather&#8221; singer is now on the business end of a million viral memes that point out the weapons-grade hypocrisy of ranting about stolen land while not offering to give back a single square inch of her $2.3 million dollar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/entertainment\/events\/celebrity-homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Glendale horse ranch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is the Grammy equivalent of Snoop Dogg calling the viewers a bunch of potheads. It doesn&#8217;t help that Billie&#8217;s digs just so happen to sit on the ancestral land of the Tongva tribe, whose spokesperson told the Daily Mail: &#8220;Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when Public Figures provide visibility to the true history of this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which is a fancy way of saying her overtures to the Native Americans were emptier than a Somali daycare center in Minneapolis. But they didn&#8217;t pay nearly as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/grammy-awards-viewership-plummets-20-among-young-adults-final-year-cbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">GRAMMY AWARDS VIEWERSHIP PLUMMETS 20% AMONG YOUNG ADULTS IN FINAL YEAR ON CBS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thousands of people have suggested Eilish host some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/immigration\/immigrant-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">undocumented migrants<\/a> at her mansion, but as we speak, she has yet to send out an invite. Something tells me it&#8217;s not because she&#8217;s still designing them on Shutterfly.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it&#8217;s a miracle she&#8217;s won so many Grammys because she&#8217;s completely tone-deaf. Is this the end of her career? Of course not.
