South African singer Tyla has responded to the Recording Academy’s decision to move her debut album from the R&B category to Pop for the Grammys.
Initially submitted for Best R&B Album, Tyla’s self-titled project will now compete for Best Pop Vocal Album, potentially making her the first African artist in the category.
Tyla expressed excitement on X, saying, “I make it all.”
She faces stiff competition from Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter.
This development follows Tyla’s historic win of the first-ever Grammy for Best African Music Performance for her song “Water” earlier this year.
