Troye Sivan says he has a 12% chance of winning at the GRAMMYs—Fans poke fun, ‘More like 0.12%’

Pop sensation Troye Sivan is gearing up for the GRAMMYs, and he’s keeping his expectations refreshingly realistic, or at least, that’s what he thinks. In a recent post, Sivan estimated his chances of winning at a very specific 12%, a number that seems optimistic, according to the internet.

Well, fans wasted no time poking fun at his confidence and turning the humble prediction into a viral moment. If the comments are anything to go by, people have strong opinions.

Troye Sivan's GRAMMYs prediction sparks viral reactions

It all started with this tweet by pop culture commentary account @ThePopFlop:

"Troye Sivan thinks he has a 12% chance of winning at the #GRAMMYs tomorrow."

Simple and straightforward, plus just what his fans needed to unleash their comedian instincts.

Almost instantly, the replies flooded, with users quick to knock that number down. Some suggested a more "accurate" percentage, while others questioned his odds entirely. The post gained traction fast, racking up reactions as Twitter (or X, if we’re being technical) did what it does best roast celebrities with ruthless precision.

One of the most-liked responses came from a user who quipped, “More like 0.12%.” And honestly? Brutal. But they weren’t alone in their skepticism.

Another person simply wrote, “Who?” a classic internet takedown that stings more than a full paragraph of criticism.

Meanwhile, another user generously adjusted his chances, commenting, “*1.2% ”, as if shaving off just a little was enough to make things more realistic.

Then some were less concerned with numbers and more baffled by his presence in the conversation at all. “Who listens to this guy?” one user asked,

while another doubled down with, “I know it’s a joke account, but anyone can win, just not him.” Ouch.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Troye Sivan discussion without someone bringing up his extracurricular activities. One user didn’t hold back, writing,

“He’s going to be busy cruising in the bathroom while other celebrities win their Grammys.”

If you know, you know.

Another chimed in with,

“At least he’s aware,” pointing out that Sivan’s 12% estimate wasn’t exactly an overconfident boast, but still questionable enough to be meme-worthy.

Some fans, however, came to his defense, arguing that the GRAMMYs have surprised people before, and a win even if unlikely shouldn’t be ruled out entirely.

Yet, as the jokes piled up, so did the engagement. Even those unfamiliar with Sivan’s music joined the conversation, proving once again that social media thrives on taking even the smallest comment and turning it into an event. Whether people were supporting him or roasting him, one thing was certain everyone was talking about Troye Sivan.

While some artists might take these jabs personally, Sivan has always had a pretty good sense of humor. Whether he’ll acknowledge the online roasting remains to be seen, but at least he’s got people talking even if it’s just about his questionable math skills.

And hey, at the end of the day, even if he doesn’t take home a GRAMMY, he’s already won free publicity. Regardless of what happens at the awards show, one thing’s for sure: Troye Sivan’s chances of going viral? 100%.
