BTS is sitting out the 2027 Grammys in protest of a new Best Asian Pop Music category, and the Recording Academy is pushing back. The move splits the conversation today: one camp sees the category as a welcome step toward representation; BTS and their fans see it as a ghettoizing box.
The biggest story today is BTS's boycott of the 2027 Grammys, which has drawn a response from the Recording Academy's CEO.
BTS announced they will not submit their latest album for the 2027 Grammys, protesting the new Best Asian Pop Music category as a form of segregation. The joint statement frames it as a stand against music being categorized by region or language.
Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. says he's 'saddened' by BTS's withdrawal but defends the category as a celebration, not a division. His response doesn't address the core complaint, that the category isolates Asian pop rather than integrating it into the main awards.
Two big performance stories broke today: Tame Impala and Jennie's surprise live debut of their collab, and Foo Fighters' North American tour routing.
Tame Impala and BLACKPINK's Jennie performed 'Dracula (Remix)' live for the first time at Boston's TD Garden. The gothic staging and Parker calling Jennie 'a fucking legend' made it a memorable moment for fans of both acts.
Foo Fighters' 'Take Cover Tour' hits North America in August with Queens of the Stone Age supporting. The routing also includes stops in Australia, New Zealand, and India, with special guests like the L.A. Philharmonic on select dates.
