Katseye and Huntr/x Make Grammy History With 2026 Nominations
Girl groups are making waves at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Global pop sensation Katseye has been nominated for Best New Artist, marking a major milestone in their rise to international fame.
Meanwhile, the girl group Huntr/x, featured in the animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, has made history with their breakout hit “Golden.” The track received several nominations, including the coveted Song of the Year category.
A Historic Moment for Girl Groups
The 2026 nomination marks the first time in nearly two decades that a girl group’s song has been up for Song of the Year. The last occurrence was in 2007, when the Chicks won for “Not Ready to Make Nice.”
“Golden,” co-written by EJAE and Mark Sonnenblick, is performed by Huntr/x — an animated trio voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami.
Song of the Year Competition
Huntr/x faces fierce competition in the Song of the Year category, going up against:
- Lady Gaga – “Abracadabra”
- Doechii – “Anxiety”
- Rosé and Bruno Mars – “APT”
- Bad Bunny – “DtMF”
- Kendrick Lamar and SZA – “Luther”
- Sabrina Carpenter – “Manchild”
- Billie Eilish – “Wildflower”
Legacy of Girl Group Recognition
Over the past 25 years, only two other girl groups have received Song of the Year nominations: TLC in 2000 for “Unpretty” and Destiny’s Child in 2001 for “Say My Name.” Neither won, making Huntr/x’s nomination especially significant.
Author’s Summary: The 2026 Grammy nominations highlight a resurgence of powerful girl groups as Katseye and Huntr/x earn historic recognition across major categories.
