BTS nominated for Grammy Awards for third year in a row

K-pop boy band BTS has been nominated for the Grammy Awards for the third year in a row.

The Recording Academy, which gives out the Grammy Awards, made the announcement of this year’s Grammy nominees during an online YouTube session Wednesday morning. BTS was nominated for the best pop duo or group performance for “My Universe,” a collaboration with Coldplay. They are also vying for the best music video for “Yet To Come.”

BTS had been previously nominated for the first category with “Dynamite” in 2020 and “Butter” in 2021. This year marks the first time that a K-pop act has been nominated in more than one category.

BTS has won trophies in other big music awards before, including the Billboard Music Awards and the American Music Awards, but has not been able to grab a Grammy yet. The boy band has performed at the Grammys previously as presenters.
