TikTok congratulates all the 65th annual GRAMMY Award nominees! A remarkable number of this year’s group of incredibly talented honorees won listeners’ hearts on TikTok before topping charts around the globe. TikTok is excited to see these artists who started on TikTok–and use the platform to creatively express their authenticity–reach the highest echelons of the music industry.
Steve Lacy’s breakout hit “Bad Habit” had creators biting their tongue last summer, generating over 705K creations on the platform before reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning nominations for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. GAYLE’s ultimate kiss-off “ABCDEFU” (2.5M+ creations), which originated with a fateful TikTok comment, earned a nod in the Song Of The Year category.
The Best New Artist category is stacked with breakout stars who leveraged TikTok to kick start their careers, including “Beggin” (8.5M creations) hitmakers Måneskin, “Hrs and Hrs” (1.7M creations) hitmaker Muni Long, “Evergreen” (329k creations) singer Omar Apollo, and Brazilian star Anitta, whose song “Envolver” (2.2M creations) helped her become the second-ever Brazilian woman to be nominated for a Grammy.
The nominees in genre-specific categories provide even further proof of our community’s trendsetting tendencies. HitKidd & GloRilla’s TikTok-fueled hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” garnered a nod for Best Rap Song, while beloved creator and songwriter Nija Charles was recognized in the Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical category.
The 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards are a special occasion for TikTok, which is not only a beloved home for many nominated songs and artists, but also earned a nomination at this year’s ceremony. TikTok and Rosalía share a nomination in the Best Music Film category, for the innovative MOTOMAMI TikTok LIVE performance. Previously earning a nomination at the Latin GRAMMYS, the avant-garde broadcast by the gum-chewing superstar was filmed entirely on mobile phones and featured full-scale performances of 14 songs from MOTOMAMI.
TikTok wishes these nominees, and all others, the best of luck at this weekend’s GRAMMY Awards!
