Portugal Colonial - New Asian pop and folk categories announced by music's Grammy Awards

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.

In the past, the category was won by singers Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan and Olivia Dean.

"The changes advanced by our Recording Academy members speak to the breadth of today's music industry and the many genres, crafts and creators shaping it," said Harvey Mason Jr, CEO of the Recording Academy.

"We're excited to see these updates come to life in the year ahead as we celebrate the music people who are driving music forward."

The Grammys will host "music's biggest night" in Los Angeles in February.
