Rosé: The Rise of a Global Superstar
Rosé, the BLACKPINK vocalist, is stepping into full global superstar mode. Fresh off making history at the GRAMMYs as the first K-pop act nominated in major categories, she is now gearing up for her highly anticipated showcase, Spotlight: Rosé. This exclusive event reportedly sold out within seconds, a testament to her immense popularity and the excitement surrounding her solo career.
On December 4, Rosé will perform at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles. This intimate setting will allow her to break down her artistry, share insights into her rise and influence as a solo artist, and deliver stripped-back performances for her dedicated fans. The GRAMMY Museum expressed its enthusiasm, stating, "The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome 3x 2026 GRAMMY Award-nominated artist ROSÉ to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening celebrating and discussing her creative process and her solo debut album."
Spotlight on Achievements
Rosé’s recent accomplishments are nothing short of remarkable. Her collaborative track "APT." with Bruno Mars has garnered significant acclaim, contributing to her nominations for three major GRAMMY categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. This milestone marks a historic moment, as she becomes the first K-pop artist to be nominated for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year as a lead artist.
The GRAMMY Museum walkthrough highlighted her achievements, noting that Rosé has "shattered records, performed on the most heralded stages, and amassed millions of fans around the world." Her journey from a member of one of the best-selling girl groups of all time to a solo artist has been inspiring for many.
A Winning Streak: VMAs and GRAMMYs
Rosé’s winning streak has been unstoppable lately. She clinched awards at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) and received multiple nominations for the 2026 GRAMMYs. In September, her collaborative song "APT." snagged the Song of the Year trophy at the VMAs, where she expressed her gratitude to her labels, teams, and BLACKPINK bandmates—Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo. During her acceptance speech, she dedicated the award to her teenage self, reflecting on her journey and the support she has received along the way.
With eight nods from the VMAs—seven for "APT." and one for her solo track "toxic till the end," nominated for Best K-pop—Rosé’s impact on the music industry is undeniable. Her recognition at such prestigious events showcases her talent and the growing influence of K-pop on a global scale.
Breaking Records
In addition to her GRAMMY nominations, Rosé has also made headlines for breaking Guinness World Records. She holds the record for the most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours by a solo K-pop artist and is recognized as the highest-charting female K-pop artist on the US albums chart for her debut album, rosie. These achievements further solidify her status as a trailblazer in the music industry.
As Rosé continues to break barriers and redefine what it means to be a K-pop artist, her upcoming showcase at the GRAMMY Museum promises to be a memorable event for fans and a celebration of her artistic journey. With her undeniable talent and growing influence, Rosé is poised to continue her ascent as a global superstar.
