South African singer Tyla is reportedly seeking recognition across multiple categories at the 2027 Grammy Awards, with submissions covering pop, R&B, rap, dance and African music.
According to information shared by @TheGrammyGuru, the singer has put forward her album APOP* and several tracks for consideration, including collaborations with international acts such as Zara Larsson, Future, Travis Scott and Vybz Kartel.
Leading the reported entries is “Chanel,” submitted for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video. The song’s placement across four categories could give it multiple routes to recognition if it advances through the Recording Academy’s voting process.
Tyla’s album APOP* has also reportedly been submitted for Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Engineered Album and Best Album Cover. The entries extend beyond the project’s music to include its technical production and visual presentation.
Elsewhere, “That Girl” is in contention for Best Pop Solo Performance, while “She Did It Again,” featuring Zara Larsson, has been submitted for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. “Kiss” is also being considered for Best Dance Pop Recording.
The singer’s reported R&B entries include “Right Now,” submitted for both Best R&B Solo Performance and Best R&B Song. In the Best African Music Performance category, she has entries for “I Don’t Care” featuring Babalwa M, “Memories” featuring Lojay, and “Body Go” featuring MOLIY.
Tyla’s submissions also reach into rap, with “Game Time,” featuring Future and FIFA Sound, reportedly entered for Best Melodic Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. Meanwhile, “PBT,” featuring Travis Scott and Vybz Kartel, has been submitted for Best Music Video.
The range of entries reflects the different sounds and collaborations associated with Tyla’s music, alongside her continued connections with artists across international markets.
However, submissions do not automatically translate into Grammy nominations. They are entries for consideration, with the Recording Academy’s voting process determining which works make the final nominee list. The reported entries should therefore be distinguished from the official nominations.
