Jennie Explains Her Absence from the 2026 Grammy Awards

Fans anticipating Jennie’s appearance at the 2026 Grammy Awards were left disappointed. The Blackpink member and solo artist received recognition for her song “Handlebars,” a collaboration with Dua Lipa and songwriter Amy Allen. Despite this accolade, Jennie did not attend the event.

Reason for Absence

While specific reasons for her absence remain unconfirmed, Jennie was recently in Aspen, Colorado. She was celebrating the Moncler Grenoble Fall/Winter 2026 collection dressed in a stylish denim jumpsuit. This made traveling to Los Angeles for the Grammys challenging.

Previous Grammy Attendance

Jennie’s non-attendance at the ceremony was not a first. Last year, she also missed the main event but was spotted at some after-parties. During those celebrations, Jennie wore a striking brown leather outfit while mingling with fellow artist Simi Khadra.

Album and Song Nominations

Last year marked a significant moment for Jennie as she released her debut solo album, titled *Ruby*. She submitted it for two categories: Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Album for the 2026 Grammy Awards. Her lead single, “Like Jennie,” was considered for several prestigious nominations including:

• Record of the Year
• Song of the Year
• Best Music Video

Despite not receiving nominations this year, Jennie continues to make her mark in the music industry.

Blackpink Co-Star Achievements

While Jennie was not present, her Blackpink bandmate Rosé made history. She became the first K-pop solo artist to be nominated in two of the four major Grammy categories and performed at the event. This milestone occurred seven years after their American debut at the Universal Music Group’s Grammy Artist Showcase.

Fans look forward to future appearances and performances by Jennie as she continues to evolve in her music career. Stay updated with more music news at Filmogaz.com.
