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.

Kendrick Lamar is nominated for nine Grammys total.

That includes Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year.

If Lamar's album GNX wins, it will be the first time in 22 years that the Recording Academy awards Album of the Year to a hip-hop record.

The last time that happened was in 2004, when Outkast won for Speakerboxx's The Love Below.

The other Album of the Year contenders who could break that streak are Tyler, the Creator, and the duo Clips.

Lamar's other competition in the big categories includes Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, and Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny's nominated for six Grammys this year, including in the three major categories.

Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year.

If Bad Bunny wins in any of these categories, it will be the first time a Spanish-language song or album takes home the award.

The 31-year-old is in the middle of a career-defining victory lap.

In November, he won Album of the Year at the Latin Grammys.

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?
