X users hilariously react to a throwback tweet of "Rain on Me" getting over 100k dislikes after 2021 Grammy win

The Grammys have always been a hotbed for drama, and this time, it wasn’t about Rain on Me's YouTube dislikes. Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s Rain on Me took home the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and while the celebration was in full swing, a different kind of party was happening on YouTube. The song’s official video suddenly racked up over 100,000 dislikes.

Now, most Grammy-winning tracks get a boost in streams and love from fans, but apparently, some corners of the internet were not happy. Whether it was rivalry, disappointment, or just plain internet chaos, the reaction was loud, petty, and, of course, hilarious.

Rain on Me Grammy Win Sparks a Wave of Dislikes

Shortly after Rain on Me secured its Grammy, YouTube watchers noticed something unusual. The video’s dislike count was climbing at an oddly fast rate, eventually surpassing the 100K mark. Though it received millions of likes and a huge number of positive comments, the sudden spurt in dislikes became a talking point on X.

One user tweeted about the situation, noticing how the dislikes went flying after the win. It immediately went viral, inviting reactions that ran the gamut from ridicule to utter confusion: who has the time and passion to organize mass dislikes? Well, the internet did not disappoint with theories, for sure.

Soon after, both fans and onlookers dove in with their takes: to some, the whole thing was dumb; others recognized it for what it really was-free promo for the song.

"I mean thanks for the free views" one joked, reminding everyone that even engagement via likes or dislikes raises a video's visibility.

"They were mad asf" another captured, which just about covered the pettiness of the situation.

Then the fandom wars started. "The dislikes were all from the purple fandom too," one user declared with confidence none-too-subtle reference to BTS fans, who reportedly got a little cranky about the win.

Of course, the jokes weren't over: "Where is BTS now?" one person asked, really stirring the pot.

Another even referred to Rain on Me as the "pandemic anthem," in reference to how it was basically 2020's musical mascot in chaos.

Despite the flood of dislikes, most users pointed out the obvious: "It has far more likes tho so who cares." And that's the truth - no amount of dislikes can erase the Grammy, the cultural impact, or the fact that the song remains a fan favorite.

At the end of the day, Rain on Me getting a wave of dislikes post-Grammys is peak internet behavior. Whether it was rival fandoms, trolls, or just people being extra, the song still stands tall with millions of fans and a golden gramophone to its name.

So, while the dislike button may have been worked overtime, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande are probably too busy celebrating to notice. And let’s be honest, a Grammy win and a viral moment? That’s pop star efficiency at its finest.

Plus, if history has taught us anything, it’s that internet outrage rarely lasts. The next viral drama is just around the corner, and soon, everyone will have moved on to the next big thing. Meanwhile, Rain on Me will keep streaming, keep winning, and keep reminding everyone why it became such an anthem in the first place.
