KATSEYE are at the Grammys! Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Manon Bannerman, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung just arrived on the 2026 Grammy Awards red carpet, wearing coordinated outfits the likes of which we haven’t seen since the glory days of early aughts girl groups.
The vibe? Angelic, tbqh!
KATSEYE is nominated for Best New Artist not to mention Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Gabriela.”
Speaking to People, Sophia said, “We were all in disbelief because, to be honest with you. I can’t even remember what interview it was, but at some point a few months ago, a few weeks ago, somebody mentioned it to us. They were like, ‘There are possibilities of a Grammy nomination,’ and then we laughed [in] their face. We literally were like, ‘Girl, what are you talking about?’ It just didn’t cross our minds. It was one of the things that we’ve been dreaming about, but we weren’t [like], ‘Okay, so next year, we’re going to have that Grammy nomination.’ When people started saying that, we were like, ‘I don’t think we’re there yet. That’s impossible. That’s just insane.’ So when we watched the livestream, we were just not expecting it, to be honest with you. When it happened, we died.”
Lara added, “It’s literally just the biggest, biggest honor. I don’t think any of us were expecting it. It really took us by surprise, both of the nominations. When we found out, we were all in tears, screaming, crying. It means so much to be recognized among so many people that have been in the industry for so long and people that we look up to. So many people nominated are the reason that [we are] artists in the first place. They inspired us to begin this dream and to be in KATSEYE. The fact that we’re recognized among them is just insane. It would just mean the world to us—not even just to win—the nomination itself means everything to us.”
