Sunday night’s Grammys featured a slew of incredible performances, but there was one the stood out above all others. Yes, it happened — Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion performed “WAP” live on primetime television.

In fact, the changes brought the duo’s lip syncing — a common practice at the Grammys — into sharp focus for some.

But the big question after the performance? How conservatives would react to the display.

Others questioned if the performance, even with its modified lyrics and censoring, actually met broadcast standards.
