Beyonce fans left furious as she loses out to Grease Live at Emmy Awards
The singer was up for her visual album Lemonade
BEYONCE fans were left disappointed on Sunday evening as their queen failed to pick up any awards at the Emmy’s.
The singer – who did not attend – was up for Outstanding Variety Special and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special for her visual album Lemonade.
And when she missed out on the latter to Grease Live the internet reacted with a flurry of angry tweets – mainly aimed at the show’s directors Thomas Kail and Alex Rudzinski.
Even the show’s host Jimmy Kimmel made a quip about them beating her – remarking: “I wouldn't want to be those guys when Kanye finds out they beat Beyoncé.”
Kanye West famously stormed the stage when Beyonce lost out to Taylor Swift at the VMA’s back in 2009.
Responding to her loss fans took to social media in their droves to blast Grease Live.
