Tyla Reflects on First Grammy Win, Details New Album 'A-Pop' Ahead of Music's Biggest Night
As she sat in front of a mirror getting her hair done for the 2026 Grammy Awards, South African superstar Tyla was bubbling with excitement. With her hit single "Push 2 Start" nominated again for Best African Music Performance, Tyla was counting down the hours until the big night. "I just can't wait to find out what happens," she joked. Little did we know, it wouldn't be long before she was accepting her second Grammy award.
Last year's historic win in the same category for her breakout song "Water" had a profound impact on Tyla. Reflecting on that moment, she recalled feeling "surprisingly very calm" as she took the stage. When they called out her name, it felt like time stood still – she "blacked out almost." The rush of adrenaline was overwhelming, but the specialness of that moment lingered long after.
As Tyla got ready to accept another award for her song "Push 2 Start," she couldn't help but think about how far she's come. Her latest album, titled A-Pop, is finally on its way, and it promises to be a departure from the whirlwind experience of her debut. With more time to settle into her craft, Tyla feels like she knows herself better – and what she wants to create.
Unlike her first album, which was "like all of a sudden overnight craziness," A-Pop is the result of a journey of self-discovery. Last year, Tyla started working on the follow-up with no clear direction in mind, but as she lived through the creative process, it all began to fall into place. The end result? An album that feels fresh and true to her artistic vision.
For Tyla, making music is more than just a rush of adrenaline – it's an experience that allows her to tap into her creativity and connect with others on a deeper level. "I feel like I just did something really special," she said, reflecting on the process of creating A-Pop. With an album that promises to be even more experimental and innovative, Tyla is poised to captivate audiences once again.
As the Grammys approach, we can't wait to hear what Tyla has in store for us with her new album A-Pop. One thing's for sure – it won't be a dull evening, especially if Justin Bieber takes the stage alongside his friend. With a winner like Tyla on hand, the magic of the night is guaranteed to shine bright.

she's come so far & it's amazing 2 see her growth as an artist 
A-Pop sounds like a game changer! can't wait 2 c what she has in store 4 us 
I've been listening 2 "Push 2 Start" on repeat & it gives me chills every time 
Tyla's energy is infectious & I'm sure the Grammys are gonna be lit 
I remember when "Water" came out and everyone was like 'who is this girl?' but now she's a superstar and I couldn't be more proud 
. A-Pop sounds amazing, can't wait 2 c what she's got in store for us. The Grammys are gonna be lit 
!
. Her journey from "overnight craziness" to a more deliberate creative process is a testament to her growth as an artist 
. I'm intrigued by the idea that A-Pop is the result of self-discovery, allowing Tyla to tap into her unique vision and connect with listeners on a deeper level 
. The fact that she's now in control of her craft, rather than letting circumstances dictate it, makes for a refreshing change 
. It'll be exciting to see how this newfound confidence translates to the music itself 
.
I've been following her journey and it's inspiring to see how she's stayed true to herself while still pushing boundaries with her music. Can't wait to dive into A-Pop and hear what Tyla has in store for us! 
i'm so hyped for her new album A-Pop it sounds like she took the time to really figure out who she is as an artist and what she wants to create, which is super inspiring 
. The fact that she's got a clear vision for this album is impressive, and I'm excited to see how it all comes together.
. it's like she learned that success isn't always about the high highs, but also about the journey in between... and that's a lesson we can all learn from 
. I can imagine how surreal that moment must have been for her 
It's all about self-discovery and tapping into her creativity. I love it 
. Her fanbase is literally growing at an exponential rate 
!
! And can we talk about how dope it is that Tyla's music is making a global impact? 
According to Google Trends, searches for "African music" have increased by 25% since the release of her latest single 
. It's like the world is finally catching up on Tyla's talent 
!
! With Tyla's win, it's guaranteed to be a night of magic 
. Fingers crossed for her A-Pop album too - I need more of that Tyla vibe in my life 
!
Girl's come a long way from "Water" to "Push 2 Start" - she's like the Beyoncé of Africa 
! Can't wait to see what she does at the Grammys... and if Justin Bieber's going to be there, that's just the icing on the cake 
.
her journey from calm and collected to finding her true artistic voice is so inspiring 
can't wait to get my hands on that album and see what all the fuss is about 
. I'm not convinced this new album is going to be anything groundbreaking. Mark my words, it'll just be more of the same old formulaic pop nonsense. Can't wait to see how many auto-tune-tinged singles she'll come out with...
... I mean, what even is the point of an awards show, right? And yet, when Tyla won last year, she seemed so genuinely surprised and happy 
Ugh, why do celebrities always have to upstage each other?

I'm curious about this Grammy win business... how did Tyla go from feeling "surprisingly very calm" during her first win to accepting another award in the same category? That's some serious repeat success if you ask me 
. Where are these sources that say she was nominated again for Best African Music Performance? I need more info on that 
. Also, how did we even know about this album "A-Pop" a whole year before the Grammys? Is it like they're already planning to announce who wins what? 
. Maybe her new album will be a refreshing change from all that pop stuff... wait, no maybe it'll just be more of the same
