BLACKPINK’s Rosé is set to create history at the 2026 Grammy Awards, becoming the first K-pop solo artist to perform on the prestigious Grammy stage. Her appearance at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards marks a significant milestone not only in her solo career but also for the global recognition of K-pop as a mainstream musical force.

Rose to perform at Grammy Awards


Rosé, whose real name is Park Chae-young, has enjoyed a remarkable year following the success of her collaborative single “APT.” with Bruno Mars. The track has received widespread acclaim and earned nominations in some of the Grammy Awards’ most competitive categories, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Such recognition places Rosé among the world’s leading music artists and highlights her growing influence beyond the K-pop industry.



Her invitation to perform at the Grammys is being viewed as a defining moment in her career. While K-pop groups have previously appeared at the awards ceremony in limited capacities, Rosé’s solo performance represents a breakthrough, showcasing the Recording Academy’s expanding embrace of global music talent. The moment is also being celebrated as a win for Korean artists who have long sought equal representation on international stages.

Since debuting as a solo artist, Rosé has consistently demonstrated her versatility, blending pop, rock and soulful elements into her music. Her distinctive vocal tone and emotional delivery have helped her connect with audiences worldwide, making her one of the most recognisable K-pop figures in the international music scene. The success of “APT.” further cemented her status as a global pop star capable of transcending language and cultural barriers.

All about Rose's popularity

Fans around the world have reacted with pride and excitement to the announcement, flooding social media with messages celebrating her achievement. Many see Rosé’s Grammy performance as a moment that could open doors for more solo K-pop artists to receive recognition from Western award bodies.

As anticipation builds ahead of music’s biggest night, Rosé’s upcoming performance is expected to be one of the ceremony’s standout moments. Regardless of the awards outcome, her presence on the Grammy stage already represents a historic achievement, one that underscores the continued rise of K-pop on the global music map and signals a more inclusive future for the international music industry.
