This year's Best New Artist nominees run the gamut from an indie pop band from Los Angeles to an English soul singer.

The one thing they have in common?

They all had a breakthrough moment this year thanks to TikToks.

Nominees Addison Rae and Alex Warren were TikTok creators who used their popularity on the app to launch music careers.

Artists like Leon Thomas, Lola Young, The Marias, and Olivia Deen were signed artists who gained major traction on TikTok.

And some of the nominees, like the girl group Cat's Eye and the Gen Z rocker Sombra, fall somewhere in between.

On Sunday night, all eight nominees will perform during the Grammy ceremony.

Bad Bunny won five awards during the 26th annual Latin Grammys in Las Vegas.

But he seemed most moved by Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, an homage to his home island.

He dedicated the award to all the young people of Latin America, and Puerto Rico in particular.

The other big awards of the night went to familiar faces.

Colombian singer Carol G won Song of the Year for her merengue hit Si Antes Tuviera Conocido alongside fellow songwriters Edgar Barrera and Andres Correa Rios.

Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz won Record of the Year for his song Palmeras en el Jardin.

And Best New Artist went to Mexican pop star Paloma Murphy.
