With this, BTS becomes the first Korean act to not only be nominated, but to also perform at the Grammy Awards for two years in a row. 

It is pertinent to mention here that, the global sensation has earned its second nomination in the ‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ for its hit song titled Butter. 

The first nod was in 2021, for their popular number titled Dynamite in the same category.

The Grammy-nominated band will also be joining a star-studded lineup at the Grammys including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow, Brandi Carlile, and Brothers Osborne.

Meanwhile, after delivering their live performance for the Grammy awards, BTS will be continuing with their world tour, ‘BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS’. 

The concerts will be held in Las Vegas on April 8, 9, 15 and 16.

According to the world’s most influential music media brand ‘Billboard’, the group smashed box office when ‘Permission To Dance on Stage: Seoul’ live viewing broke the event cinema record with a worldwide box office gross of over $32 million. 

The Grammy Award, or just Grammy, is an award presented by the Recording Academy to recognize "Outstanding Achievement in the music industry" of the United States (US).

The trophy depicts a gilded gramophone. The Grammys are the first of the Big Three networks' major music awards held annually.
