U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley ripped a skit at Sunday night's Grammys where celebrities read excerpts of the new book Fire and Fury, tweeting, "Don't ruin great music with trash."

In a planned segment, host James Corden had different musicians read portions of Michael Wolff's new book that is heavily critical of the Trump White House in an attempt to win a Spoken Word Grammy.

Trump's 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton made a "surprise" appearance at the end, reading a portion about President Donald Trump's fondness for fast food.

Although the segment went over well with the progressive audience, Haley—who has recently slammed a tawdry rumor begun by Wolff about her having an affair with Trump—was not amused.

"I have 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," she wrote.

Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. took shots at Clinton for winning the "consolation prize" of a Grammys cameo after losing the White House.
