Globally Popular BTS Receives Nominations For The “64th GRAMMY Awards,” Fans Got Disheartened

After winning three awards at 2021 AMA's, now BTS becomes 2x GRAMMY-nominated artists as they are Nominated for 64th GRAMMY Awards.

Earlier today, Recording Academy made an announcement for the upcoming 64th GRAMMYs Awards show and BTS receives a Best Pop Duo/Group Performance nomination for the 64th GRAMMY Awards. They are included with Coldplay‘s “Higher Power,” “Kiss Me More” by Doja Cat featuring SZA, “I Get a Kick Out of You” by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, and “Lonely” by Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco.

The achievement comes with their chart-topping hit “Butter” marks the second time the septet is being considered for a GRAMMY Award, following the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance nomination in the previous year for “Dynamite.” BTS then became the first Korean pop act to receive a nomination and perform at the awards show.

Unfortunately, this is the only one of all of BTS’s submissions to be accepted this year. ARMYs had hoped that BTS would have been nominated for “Best Music Video” with “Permission to Dance, “Album of the Year” with BE, “Best Pop Vocal Album” with BE, “Engineered Non-Classical” with BE, “Record of the Year” for “Butter.”

Two days before the announcement, BTS capped off the 2021 American Music Awards with an ebullient performance of “Butter” after receiving three awards including Artist of the Year.
