LOS ANGELES (UNITED STATES) - Next year's Grammy Awards will feature five new categories, the Recording Academy announced Tuesday, along with redefined rules that could affect the future of the coveted Best New Artist prize.
Based on feedback from its members, the 2027 show will honor Best Asian Pop Music Performance, Best R&B Collaboration Performance, Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance, Best Traditional Folk Album and Best Latin Song.
The academy also redefined how many times an artist can be submitted in the Best New Artist category, allowing four submissions instead of three and opening up the opportunity to budding singers who may have exhausted their limit.
