KATSEYE Reflects on Their Grammy Nominations
Emerging as a global sensation this year, girl group KATSEYE has received Grammy nods in the prestigious categories of Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
“We grew up watching and dreaming about moments like this, and seeing it become real feels surreal.”
The group expressed their gratitude, saying, “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.”
Competition and Recognition
KATSEYE is competing against Olivia Dean, The Marías, Addison Rae, Sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young for the Best New Artist award. Last year’s winner, Chappell Roan, introduced the category during the Grammy nomination announcement stream on Friday morning.
Journey to Global Stardom
KATSEYE’s rise has been swift, marked by early acclaim from the Netflix documentary Popstar Academy, which documented their path from hopefuls to international stars. The group was created through the YouTube competition series Dream Academy, a project between K-pop powerhouse Hybe and Geffen Records to form the first global girl group.
