BTS At Grammys 2019 Confirmed: Will K-Pop Group Perform 'Fake Love' At Ceremony?
BTS fans' dream of seeing the K-pop group on the Grammys stage is finally happening. However, the seven members of the band might not get the chance to show off their singing chops and dancing skills since there’s no word yet if they’re performing.
BTS — composed of leader RM and members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — will be presenting an award at Grammys 2019 this Sunday, Variety has confirmed. It was not revealed which award exactly BTS will be presenting nor is there confirmation if the K-pop group will get to perform "Fake Love" from their nominated album or another single during the ceremony.
BTS has been nominated for one Grammy award this year. Their "Love Yoursef: Tear" album and its art director, HuskyFox, could take home the best recording package trophy if they beat St. Vincent’s “Masseduction,” Mitski’s “Be the Cowboy,” the Chairman’s “The Offering,” and Foxhole’s “Well Kept Thing.”
But while BTS has confirmed their appearance, there are some stars who might skip the ceremony this year. Sources told Variety that Maroon 5, who is nominated for best pop duo/group performance for “Girls Like You,” with Cardi B, may not attend Grammys 2019. Taylor Swift, who is up for best pop vocal album for “Reputation,” may also be a no-show.
Nevertheless, the 2019 Grammys will still have many big names performing or presenting awards. Among those who confirmed their attendance are Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, Brandi Carlile, Dan + Shay, H.E.R., Post Malone with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Janelle Monáe and Kacey Musgraves.
Hosted by Alicia Keys, the 61st annual Grammy Awards will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 10, at 8:00 p.m. EST. The show will be broadcast live from the venue on CBS.
Meanwhile, BTS is believed to be preparing for their comeback, which could happen around this summer. A report recently surfaced that BTS may be releasing their next album on Sept. 18, but the group's agency, Big Hit Entertainment, has denied the rumored comeback date. According to the company's statement, they are still in the middle of choosing a date for the album release. This hasn't stopped the seven boys from teasing fans on Twitter by sharing photos of them recording new songs.
