Five New Grammy 2027 Categories
The Academy has expanded its genres to better reflect global and niche music markets. The five new categories:
- Best Asian Pop Music Performance: Recognizes artistic excellence in Asian pop (including K-pop, J-pop, and C-pop) that makes meaningful use of one or more Asian languages.
- Best R&B Collaboration or Duo/Group Performance: For contemporary R&B collaborative works and established duos/groups. (Note: Because of this, the existing Best R&B Performance category will be renamed "Best R&B Solo Performance").
- Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance: Spotlighting singles and tracks that fit a traditional pop style that cannot be intermingled with current mainstream pop forms.
- Best Traditional Folk Album: Dedicated to albums of traditional folk recordings. (Note: The former Best Folk Album category is now renamed "Best Contemporary Folk Album").
- Best Latin Song: Awarding songwriters for newly written Latin songs that feature at least 51% Spanish lyrics.
