Rosé to Make K-Pop History at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards
BLACKPINK’s Rosé is poised to make a groundbreaking impact as the first solo K-pop artist to perform at the prestigious 68th Annual Grammy Awards, set for February 1, 2026.
The Recording Academy confirmed on January 29 that the talented 28-year-old will grace the stage during the live broadcast from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This performance is a historic milestone for K-pop, following appearances by the group BTS at the Grammys from 2020 to 2022, further elevating the genre’s representation at this celebrated event.
Grammy Nominations and Recognition
Rosé has garnered three nominations for this year’s ceremony, fueled by her global hit collaboration “APT.” with pop icon Bruno Mars. The song has been recognized in some of the most competitive categories, including:
- Record of the Year
- Song of the Year
- Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
This achievement marks a significant recognition for Rosé, making her the first female solo K-pop artist to be nominated in the major general field categories of the Grammys, as noted by Billboard.
Chart Success of “APT.”
The track “APT.”has shattered international records since its release in October 2024, climbing to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and maintaining a top position on the Billboard Global 200 chart for several weeks. Notably, it is the first song by a K-pop artist to secure the number one spot on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, underscoring the growing influence of K-pop in global music.
Potential Collaborations and Performances at the Ceremony
While the Recording Academy has yet to announce whether Bruno Mars will join Rosé during her performance, many industry insiders speculate that his presence is likely given his role in the celebrated track, as reported by Kyodo News.
Additionally, the upcoming Grammy Awards will feature a performance by the global girl group KATSEYE, whose members hail from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. KATSEYE will be part of a special segment that celebrates all eight nominees for Best New Artist, marking another remarkable moment for K-pop representation at the awards.
