KATSEYE has officially been nominated in two major categories at the upcoming Grammy Awards.

On November 8, the Recording Academy announced the nominees for the 68th Grammy Awards, which will take place on February 1 in Los Angeles, California (local time).

KATSEYE earned nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. In the Best New Artist category, they will compete against Olivia Dean, The Marías, Addison Rae, Sombre, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young.

The Best New Artist award is one of the Grammys' "Big Four" honors, alongside Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.

This marks a historic milestone — it is the first time a K-pop group, or a group created through the K-pop production model, has been nominated for Best New Artist.

KATSEYE was also recognized in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for their hit track Gabriela, standing shoulder to shoulder with top contenders including Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande (Defying Gravity), K-pop Demon Hunters (Golden), Rosé & Bruno Mars (Apartment), and SZA & Kendrick Lamar (30 for 30).

Despite debuting less than two years ago, KATSEYE's global rise has been remarkable. CNN noted, "The Grammys have confirmed that KATSEYE is having their best year yet," while ABC News praised the achievement, saying, "It's rare for a girl group to be nominated in a major Grammy category — even more extraordinary for a global one."
