A Breakdown of BTS’s Many Grammy Nominations

Published 3 hours ago - iNFO Vi

BTS has been nominated for hundreds of awards throughout their career. While their music has been getting recognized in South Korea since their debut in 2013, it wasn't until four years later that they began to really make waves in the United States. It all started in May 2017 when the septet took home the award for Top Social Artist at the Billboard Music Awards. The achievement catapulted BTS to even greater fame in the Western music industry because, the following year, they not only earned another BBMA, but an American Music Award, People's Choice Award, iHeartRadio Music Award, and more. Since then, BTS has only added to their extensive award show collection in the U.S.
While BTS has so much to be proud of, the group has said one goal they haven't checked off their list yet is winning a Grammy. They've been nominated by the Recording Academy a few times in recent years, but haven't come out on top just yet. After the group came out empty-handed at the 2022 Grammy Awards, Jin told reporters during an April 10 press conference that BTS would continue chasing their goal. "This year won't be our last chance, but we can try anytime we want in the future," he said. "So, we'll do our best."
Following the release of their "Proof" compilation album in June, reports came out that BTS had submitted four of their songs for Grammy consideration, making fans hopeful 2023 would be the year the group would finally win their first Grammy.
Now that the 2023 Grammy Awards came and went on Feb. 5, scroll through the slideshow to read about all of BTS's Grammy nominations over the years.

Why Was No One Eating the Stunning Charcuterie Boards at the Grammys?

Published 3 hours ago - iNFO Vi

We need to discuss the real underdog of the 2023 Grammys: the charcuterie boards. Topping nearly every table at the award show were gorgeous fruit-forward platters that deserve far more appreciation than they've received thus far.
This wasn't just any smattering of cured meat and cheese - the boards truly had it all. We're talking stacked sliced pears, all the berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries), halved figs, dates, zigzag-cut kiwis, radish and cucumber slices, blood oranges, black grape clusters - we're still not done - cashews, seeded crackers, and even cantaloupe, all artfully arranged on a wooden slab with matching tongs. There were also chunks of cheese, of course, perhaps a white cheddar, by the looks of it.
Mouthwatering as the spreads looked, the fresh nibbles were hardly, well, nibbled. As the ceremony progressed and photographers captured famous attendees during commercial breaks, the charcuterie boards remained glaringly untouched. Photos show duos like Jennifer Lopez and husband Ben Affleck and Taylor Swift and collaborator Bryce Dessner smiling by their wholly intact boards. We simply cannot relate to the restraint it must've taken to resist snacking away while watching the evening's many performances.
Whoever is responsible for these gorgeous creations: We see you. We celebrate your work. And we hope your kiwi-cutting skills get the recognition they deserve. Read ahead to admire the sumptuous Grammys charcuterie boards and garner inspiration for your next arrangement.Related:From DJ Khaled to LL Cool J, See All the Stars Who Brought Their Families as Dates to the Grammys
