KATSEYE on Their Grammy Nominations
The global girl group KATSEYE, whose popularity soared this year, received nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. This marks their first-ever Grammy nods and a major milestone in their journey.
“We grew up watching and dreaming about moments like this, and seeing it become real feels surreal.”
The group expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Recording Academy and to their fellow nominees for the acknowledgment, emphasizing how honored they feel to stand among so many talented artists.
“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 strong competition in the Best New Artist category, including Olivia Dean, The Marías, Addison Rae, Sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young. Last year’s winner, Chappell Roan, introduced the category during the Grammy nominations live stream on Friday morning.
This recognition crowns a transformative year for KATSEYE, who first gained attention through the Netflix documentary Popstar Academy, chronicling their evolution from pop hopefuls to global sensations. The group originally formed through the YouTube-based competition series Dream Academy, a collaboration between K-pop powerhouse Hybe and Geffen Records.
