BTS gets snubbed again at the 2023 Grammys

For the third straight year, K-pop superstars BTS have been sidelined from the Grammy Awards.

The biggest South Korean act in history, the seven-piece ensemble was nominated in two categories at the 65th Grammy Awards: music video for “Yet to Come” and pop duo/group performance for “My Universe” with Coldplay. The group was also included in Coldplay’s Album of the Year nomination for “Music of the Spheres”.

That year, BTS lost to Taylor Swift for music videos and to Sam Smith and Kim Petras for pop duo/group performances.

Previously, the group was nominated for “Dynamite” in 2021 and “Butter” in 2022 for pop duo/group performance, but the award went to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me,” then “Kiss Me More.” ” by Doja Cat and SZA.”

Following BTS’ defeat last year, the group’s RM told an audience in Las Vegas, “I know there’s a lot of rumors out there about our Grammys and the team itself. … But do you know why bother? Hating is their freedom and they have their right to hate, but if it were me I’d rather just talk to my friends in a coffee shop and forget about it – rather than tweeting about it or doing an interview. I wouldn’t do that because I’m an adult.”
