Blackpink Grammy No-Show!
For a group as globally dominant as Blackpink, the 2025 Grammys seemed like a place where they’d be turning heads on the red carpet—or even lighting up the stage. In reality, the four members—Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé—were nowhere to be found. Despite each member ramping up her solo career, none attended or performed at music’s biggest night. But before fans speculate about conflict or surprises, here’s the story of why Blackpink’s presence was missing in action.

Blackpink Grammy – Taking a Breather and Going Sol-o
After a record-breaking world tour and a slew of collaborative hits, Blackpink decided to step away from group activities. Each member set out on her own creative journey:
- Lisa dropped two singles, “Rockstar” (June 27) and “New Woman” (August 15). Both technically qualified for the 2025 Grammy eligibility window, but no nominations came her way.
- Jennie has been quietly fine-tuning her craft, preparing material that resonates with personal themes she’s kept under wraps.
- Jisoo, the group’s versatile vocalist, is rounding out her studio sessions for her first solo album.
- Rosé, known for her soulful tone, has done multiple collaborations, building anticipation around her sound’s new direction.
This shift to solo ventures, while thrilling to watch, also left the group with no collective album or newly released track that would require a Grammy push. Fans hoping for a show-stopping performance had to come to terms: with no official group comeback yet, the members were unlikely to appear at the 2025 Grammys.
Grammys: What Happened to Blackpink?
The Grammys eligibility period for 2025 covered music released from September 16, 2023, to August 30, 2024. Although Lisa’s singles “Rockstar” and “New Woman” did come out in that window, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that her submissions simply didn’t receive nominations. Add in that the other three members didn’t release high-profile projects during the eligibility window, and the results were straightforward: no performances, no red carpet, no official Grammys cameo.
Their absence also becomes more understandable when you realize that Blackpink as a whole had never been to or been nominated for a Grammy even before their break. With no group release out and no prior ceremony appearances, skipping the 2025 event was ultimately consistent with how things have played out historically.
Reuniting for a New Chapter
The good news is that the group has plenty of projects—and dreams—on the horizon:
- Reunion Later This Year: Rumors and interviews suggest that a Blackpink comeback is in the works. Each member has teased that they miss performing together and are excited to show fans how much they’ve grown since branching out on their own.
- Eyeing 2026 Grammys: By next year’s eligibility window, all four members’ solo albums will be fully released. That means brand-new singles, possibly a group track or two, and fresh energy that could grab the Recording Academy’s attention. Lisa even expressed excitement, telling ELLE: “We’re so proud of Blackpink, and I love Blackpink. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves.”
With renewed synergy, the 2026 Grammys might see Blackpink front and center in the nomination lists—and maybe even rocking the stage.
From Texts to Tours: Keeping Each Other Close
Though each member has been forging separate creative paths, they’ve stayed connected through a group chat. Jennie revealed to Billboard that, despite not talking daily, they remain supportive. Ultimately, they’re best friends and creative partners, simply giving each other the space needed to thrive in solo endeavors before returning as a stronger unit.
Jennie’s perspective echoes what fans want to hear: that no matter how many side projects they explore, the heart of Blackpink remains intact. “I’ve missed doing tours with them,” she confessed. “I miss our silly moments. Everyone took their own journey… I want to say it’s going to be the most powerful version of ourselves that anyone has seen.”
Looking Ahead
It’s easy to see why the 2025 Grammys came and went with no mention of Blackpink. The group members simply had no reason to be there, given their focus on independent releases and a break from group activity. Yet hope for a dynamic reunion glimmers on the horizon. All members have teased that new music is on the way. And with each step of their artistic evolution, the chance of a momentous group performance at a future ceremony only grows.
Whether you’re a Lisa-focused BLINK, a devout Rosé fan, or can’t wait to see all four on stage again, the takeaway is the same: Blackpink hasn’t faded; they’re just preparing for their next big act.
