Tyla reacts to her debut album being moved into ‘Pop’ Grammys category

According to Hollywood Reporters, the Recording Academy’s R&B screening committee kicked the project from Best R&B Album to Best Pop Vocal Album.

If nominated in pop, Tyla would become the first African artist to compete in the category.

Her self-titled project would face stiff competition from Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, Chappell Roan’s The Rise and I Fall of a Midwest Princess, and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet.

Reacting to the upgrade, Tyla excited wrote on X; “I make it all.”

Recall that Tyla won the first-ever Grammy for Best African Music Performance earlier this year with her hit song ‘Water.’
