The global girl group KATSEYE, whose popularity surged this year, earned nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Reflecting on their achievement, the group shared their excitement and gratitude.
“We grew up watching and dreaming about moments like this, and seeing it become real feels surreal.”
“We’re so thankful to the Recording Academy for this recognition and to all the incredible artists nominated alongside us. We can’t believe this; it’s so inspiring to be in such amazing company. Most of all, thank you to our fans, our Eyekons, for supporting us every step of the way.”
KATSEYE faces competition from Olivia Dean, The Marías, Addison Rae, Sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young in the Best New Artist category. Last year’s winner, Chappell Roan, announced the category during the Grammy nomination stream.
The group’s rise gained momentum after their feature in the Netflix documentary Popstar Academy, which tracked their journey from hopefuls to global stars. KATSEYE was formed through the YouTube competition series Dream Academy, a project by K-pop giant Hybe and Geffen Records, aiming to create the first global girl group.
