KATSEYE Reflect on Their Grammy Nominations
The global girl group KATSEYE, whose rise this year captured worldwide attention, has earned nominations in the 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.”
In a statement, the group shared their gratitude and excitement:
“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 Context
KATSEYE finds themselves in strong company, competing for Best New Artist alongside 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 Grammys nomination livestream on Friday morning.
From Dream to Global Success
This year marks a period of major growth for KATSEYE. The group first earned attention through the Netflix documentary Popstar Academy, which followed their evolution from promising newcomers to international sensations.
KATSEYE was originally formed through the YouTube competition series Dream Academy — a collaboration between K-pop powerhouse Hybe and Geffen Records — aimed at creating the first truly global girl group.
