Ten days prior to the awards, Recording Academy president Deborah Dugan was relieved of her duties as president and CEO and placed on administrative leave from the organization. She sparked controversy by claiming that the organization engaged in corruption and favoritism; Champagne Billecart-Salmon pulled their ads and Megyn Kelly, Gabrielle Union, and others tweeted their support of Dugan. Taylor Swift reportedly cancelled a planned surprise performance of her song \”The Man\” at the ceremony in solidarity with Dugan, although both Swift and Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich denied this.
