Tyla’s self-titled debut album will no longer be vying for R&B recognition at the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards. Instead, the South African songstress is expected to compete across the pop categories, The Hollywood Reporter shared on Monday (Oct. 21).
According to the publication, TYLA was “kicked to Best Pop Vocal Album” by The Recording Academy’s R&B screening committee, which includes other artists, songwriters and producers.
If the “On and On” artist secures a nomination, she could possibly go up against Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet, Ariana Grande’s eternal sunshine and Taylor Swift’s THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT — most notably, the last-mentioned project spent 15 weeks atop the Billboard 200.
