Grammys 2027: Disney Deal & BTS Boycott Shake-Up
15 Nov
Summary
- Grammys eligibility period is August to August for February ceremonies.
- Disney acquired the Grammy organization in 2024, with its first ceremony in 2027.
- BTS and Stray Kids boycotted a new Best Asian Pop category, leading to their absence.
The Grammy Awards operate on an unusual timeline, with eligibility spanning August to August for a February ceremony. This means music released in late 2025 will be considered for the 2027 awards. Albums like Rosalía's Lux and Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl are now eligible, potentially competing with recent releases from artists such as Olivia Rodrigo and Noah Kahan.
Nominations for the 2027 Grammy Awards will be revealed on November 16. A significant development is Disney's acquisition of the organization in 2024; the 2027 ceremony will be the first under its ownership, suggesting a strong promotional push. Additionally, BTS and other prominent artists have chosen to boycott the new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category, viewing it as siloed and leading to their exclusion from the nominee list.
