Nikki Haley was not a fan of that Fire and Fury bit at the Grammys

Attention, songwriters of the world: U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley would really appreciate it if you would stop mixing music with politics.

Haley was upset by a pre-recorded bit during the Grammy Awards Sunday night where Hillary Clinton, Snoop Dogg, John Legend, and others "auditioned" to narrate the audiobook for Fire and Fury. It's not surprising that Haley isn't a fan of Fire and Fury, which details the chaos unfolding inside the White House and has led to stupid rumors about her, but the segment really struck a nerve, with the ambassador calling it a "shame" that "ruined the Grammys."

Following up, Haley tweeted that she has "always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don't ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it." Of course, politics and music go hand in hand, but now that Haley has given us some insight into her taste, don't send her any Beatles, Bob Dylan, or Rage Against the Machine records — it sounds like she's more of a Nickelback fan.
