As much as the BTS Army was excited, the K-Pop band, Bangtan Boys couldn't win the Grammys after their first nominations took over social media. BTS ultimately lost to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's 'Rain on Me' on Sunday night. Fans are disappointed, yet supportive of BTS as they gave an electrifying performance on-stage. The seven-member band performed from South Korea later and won hearts all over again on Twitter with their video going viral. The event was virtual and had Harry Styles and Billie Eilish as part of the opening act.
BUT the BTS Army being the superpower that they are supporting their favourite K-Pop group, nevertheless. The BTS ARMY had the hashtags #LightItUpBTS and #BTSOurGreatestPrize trending on Twitter to keep up the cheerful face. J Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny & Tainy's "Un Dia (One Day)," Justin Bieber featuring Quavo's "Intentions" and Taylor Swift featuring Bon Iver's "Exile" had also been nominated for the award that ultimately went to Gaga and Grande.
