Idol group BTS was selected as the 'Artist of the Year' at the 2021 American Music Awards and will participate in the live broadcast of the 2022 Grammy Awards nomination announcement.
Billboard announced on the 23rd (Korean time) that, "The announcement of the 2022 Grammy Awards will be broadcast live through YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok."
“This live broadcast will include BTS, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., Board Chairman Tammy Hurt, and H.E.R. John Batiste Carly Pearce", it added.
Earlier on the 22nd (Korean time), BTS achieved a splendid feat of winning a total of three awards including Artist of the Year, the Grand Prize, at the 2021 American Music Awards, which ended in a grand way in Los Angeles, USA on the 22nd (Korean time).
After that, local media such as Forbes selected BTS as one of the most likely candidates for this year's record at the Grammy Awards, boosting their chances of winning.
It is predicted that BTS will compete with other famous artists such as Justin Bieber's 'Peaches', Lil Nas X' 'Montero', Silk Sonic's 'Leave The Door Open' and Taylor Swift's 'willow' with its hit song 'Butter'.
BTS was nominated for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category at the 2020 Grammy Awards with 'Dynamite', but failed to win the award.
'Butter' set a new record by reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart 10 times this year. It is noteworthy how many awards BTS will collect at this year's Grammy Awards.
The announcement of the nominations for the 64th Grammy Awards will be announced on the 24th, and the awards ceremony will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA on January 31, 2022.
