In a statement, the Recording Academy clarified its eligibility for the 2025 Grammys Best New Artist category after major online confusion.

“Every year, the #GRAMMYs Best New Artist category acknowledges rising stars who are shaping the future of music through their own artistry,” read the post (viewable here).
