The global girl group KATSEYE, whose profile surged this year, received nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys.
“We grew up watching and dreaming about moments like this, and seeing it become real feels surreal.”
The group expressed gratitude to the Recording Academy and their fellow nominees, emphasizing the inspiration they draw from being recognized alongside such talent.
“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 is competing with 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 nominations announcement.
This year marked significant growth for KATSEYE. They initially gained attention through the Netflix documentary Popstar Academy, which followed their transformation from hopeful pop artists to worldwide stars.
The group was created through the YouTube-based competition series Dream Academy, which aimed to form the first global girl group as a collaboration between K-pop giant Hybe and Geffen Records.
KATSEYE’s Grammy nods highlight their rapid rise from competition hopefuls to recognized global artists, inspiring fans and peers alike.
