Shortly after the news broke, fans began trending GRAMMY related phrases and hashtags to celebrate BTS’s achievement.

One trending topic in particular, however, pointed to the GRAMMYs snubbing artists, including BTS.

Although fans are elated about BTS’s nomination, but some still feel that “Dynamite” and MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 deserved more nominations, including one for “Album of the Year”.

That said, BTS’s dream has finally come true, and they couldn’t be happier! Check out their reaction here:
