Following a whirlwind week that saw them grace the Grammy stage as nominees, the group has officially entered the pantheon of Super Bowl legends.
KATSEYE isn’t just a girl group; in 2026, they are the blueprint for the modern pop idol. Following a whirlwind week that saw them grace the Grammy stage as nominees, the group has officially entered the pantheon of Super Bowl legends. Their inclusion in State Farm’s high-budget “Stop Livin’ on a Prayer” commercial alongside Hollywood heavyweights marks a definitive shift: KATSEYE has transitioned from “internet sensations” to household names in the U.S. market.
Airing during the first half of Super Bowl LX, the State Farm spot features KATSEYE in a neon-drenched, 80s-inspired musical number. Alongside Keegan-Michael Key and Danny McBride, the girls perform a high-energy rendition of Bon Jovi’s anthem, reimagined to highlight insurance chaos. In a landscape where Super Bowl ads cost upwards of $7 million, the decision to cast KATSEYE is a calculated bet on their massive cross-continental reach and impeccable performance skills.
At the 2026 Grammy Awards, KATSEYE was the name on everyone’s lips. Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their smash hit “Gabriela,” they delivered what critics are calling the “performance of the decade.” Their execution of “Gnarly” combined razor-sharp choreography with live vocals that silenced skeptics. While they didn’t take home the trophy, the 1.5 million viral clips generated in the hour following their set prove that impact outweighs hardware in 2026.
The group’s festival journey continues to expand. After a breakout performance at Lollapalooza Chicago in 2025, KATSEYE is taking their “Beautiful Chaos” show to South America. Headline slots in Argentina, Chile, and Brazil this March have already triggered a secondary market ticket frenzy. For global fans, these shows represent the first time the group’s full “Dream Academy” energy will be showcased on a major South American stage, solidifying their status as a touring powerhouse.
The success of KATSEYE highlights the efficiency of the “K-pop methodology” when applied to a diverse, global cast. Sophia, Lara, Daniela, Megan, Manon, and Yoonchae represent a new era where cultural barriers are secondary to talent and branding. Their 2026 run—spanning the Grammys, the Super Bowl, and a massive Lollapalooza tour—validates the millions invested in their training and development, proving that global pop is no longer a Western monopoly.
Days before the Super Bowl, the group appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing their viral single “Internet Girl.” The appearance, which featured a comedic skit with Fallon, served as the perfect launchpad for their Super Bowl debut. By dominating both the late-night circuit and the biggest sporting event in the world within 72 hours, KATSEYE has executed the most successful media blitz of 2026.
