Mason calls Grammys changes inclusive
These changes come after huge moments like BTS's first Grammy nod in 2021 and Bad Bunny's Spanish-language album win in 2025.
The Academy has also brought more Korean and Latino artists into its voting group.
As CEO Harvey Mason Jr. puts it, these updates show the Grammys are evolving with the industry and aiming to be more inclusive, opening doors for artists from India and other regions to get global attention.
