BTS is prepping to take the Grammy stage by storm on Sunday night as they celebrate their first nomination at the awards ceremony. Their fanbase, known as the ARMY, is already overwhelming social media with their hype ahead of tonight’s events. The Recording Academy selected the song “Dynamite,” the boy band’s first song with full English lyrics, as one of the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category nominations. While BTS (the first K-Pop group the Grammys have ever nominated) is up against heavy hitters like Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande (for “Rain on Me”), the ARMY is confident is sure they’ll take home the prize.
To top off that big nomination, BTS (also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan) will also perform at the awards. This appearance will be the third time they’ve appeared on the Grammy stage, following a presenter appearance in 2019 and a guest spot during Lil Nas X’s 2020 performance. However, this is the first time BTS is playing their own song, a landmark moment for the band and K-Pop as a whole.

Scroll through to see some of the elated reaction to the group’s forthcoming Grammys performance.

“I understand & respect @BTS_twt’s desire for a Grammy because for so long it represented the pinnacle of achievement in music. I’m rooting for them hard!” another member of the BTS ARMY wrote. “But no matter what happens, their global impact has taken them far beyond a Grammy already. They’ve only just begun.”
