Spotlight: KATSEYE

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome KATSEYE to the Museum’s Ray Charles Rooftop Terrace for an evening celebrating and discussing their latest EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, their rising career, creative process, and more, with a short performance. Attendees will have an opportunity to enjoy rooftop views and a cash bar prior to the program.

KATSEYE don’t just break the mold — they’re making their own. The global girl group is the first of its kind, forged within the high standards and exacting specs of the K-pop system, but armed with the explicit goal of smashing through boundaries both cultural and creative. Ranging in age from 17 to 22 and coming from immensely different cultures, the six members of KATSEYE are: Daniela (Cuban/Venezuelan-American, from Atlanta, GA), Lara (Indian, from New York, NY), Manon (Ghanaian-Italian, from Zurich, Switzerland), Megan (Chinese-American, from Honolulu, HI), Sophia (Manila, Philippines), and Yoonchae (Seoul, South Korea). Together they represent an array of personalities, backgrounds, tastes, and talents — hence the name. Just as looking at a cat’s eye gem from various angles can reveal different colors and patterns, KATSEYE is never the same twice and all the more alluring because of it. Together, they create a prismatic, mercurial, and potent pop sound that thrives in the tension between softness and strength, polish and raw power, precision and rebellion — always shining, always evolving.

That duality fuels KATSEYE’s perfectly titled new EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS. The bold set explores the complexities of modern girlhood, and how the real and digital worlds often blur. It addresses issues they navigate daily, from the tensions that arise from six young adults living under one roof — as they have for the past three years, first in dorms while training and now in their own shared house — to the challenges of shaping meaningful identity in a digital age where reality is curated and authenticity fights the algorithm. After the world watched them compete and come together through HYBE and Geffen Records’ groundbreaking Dream Academy show and artist development program (and later, the Netflix docuseries, Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE), the idea of “beautiful chaos” felt oddly comforting. Something about cultivating connection, up close and afar, in a world that moves too fast. Wearing lipstick with armor. Embracing the unknown.

The group’s artistry is matched by their record-setting momentum. KATSEYE recently surpassed 10M followers on Tik Tok, 1 billion streams on Spotify across all credits and are currently the only girl group with three songs simultaneously charting on the Spotify Global Daily Top Songs chart (Gabriela, Gnarly, and Touch). Earlier this month, they made headlines at Lollapalooza 2025, drawing the largest daytime crowd in the festival’s history with an estimated 85,000 attendees, and just this past weekend, they lit up Summer Sonic Tokyo with a powerful performance.

Bringing their vision to life meant expanding their creative circle. Returning collaborators like Justin Tranter (Selena Gomez, Chappell Roan) reinforced KATSEYE’s core chemistry, while fresh faces such as Andrew Watt (Lady Gaga, Jungkook), John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter), and Kristin Carpenter (Nessa Barrett, JISOO) pushed them into new sonic territory. The members also sought a bigger say in shaping their direction. “We definitely had a lot more conversations than we did last time,” Sophia says. “We’re in the rooms now, talking about production, getting into logistics, and making sure that we’re bringing 100 percent of ourselves into the songs.” The result of that communication is music that’s vibrant, edgy, confident, and undeniably them.
