Rosé, the K-Pop star, expressed her gratitude towards her collaborator, Bruno Mars, describing him as not only a mentor but also a close friend. She shared how Bruno guided and inspired her during the creation of her first solo album, Rosie, providing valuable advice and support at crucial moments. Rosé praised Bruno's dynamic vision for music-making and his ability to draw inspiration from her past work, leading to a successful collaboration on the track "APT."
Rosé recently made history by becoming the first K-Pop soloist to receive nominations in all six general field categories at the Grammys. Her track "APT" earned nominations for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, while her collaboration with Bruno Mars garnered a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Reflecting on her historic nominations, Rosé emphasized the importance of cultural representation and inclusivity in music, expressing her gratitude for the recognition and the acceptance of different cultures in the industry.
The upcoming 2026 Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 1, 2026 (US time), will be a significant moment for Rosé as she awaits the outcome of her nominations. The recognition she has received not only validates her talent and hard work but also serves as a source of inspiration for others who may have felt underrepresented in the music industry.
