K-Pop group BTS, arguably the biggest boy band in the world, earned their first ever Grammy Award nomination for their hit song ‘Dynamite’.
They were nominated for the Best Pop Duo/ Group Performance category, alongside other pop giants like Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Bon Iver, and Justin Bieber and Quavo for the 2021 Grammys.
It is fitting to say that BTS used their latest hit single Dynamite, performed entirely in English, as their torjan horse to conquer the western music industry.
The infectious disco-pop anthem smashed YouTube viewership records, topped Billboard’s Digital Songs Sale chart for months.
The septet posted a video of their live reaction on Twitter after the announcement, captioned with an excited keyboard smash.
