K-Pop band BTS lose at Grammys, as Beyonce, Megan Thee Stallion among early winners.
Megan Thee Stallion, Beyonce and Billie Eilish were among the early winners on Sunday, but K-Pop band BTS were defeated in their bid to win a first Grammy award.
BTS lost in the best pop duo or group performance against Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande for their single “Rain on Me.”
The seven-member band, which will perform from South Korea later on Sunday’s telecast, were hoping to be the first K-Pop act to win a Grammy after a breakthrough year in the U.S. for the genre.
The awards were announced online ahead of the main Grammys telecast on CBS television, which is expected to be a hybrid ceremony of live and pre-recorded performances but, because of the coronavirus pandemic, without the usual arena audience of thousands of musicians and industry executives.
