The 2026 Grammy Awards may have handed out the golden gramophones, but the real winning moment for pop fans happened at the after-party. In a viral snapshot that is already being dubbed the “Ultimate Pop Girl Link-Up,” Ghanaian-American songstress MOLIY, KATSEYE’s standout vocalist Lara Raj, and Swedish pop titan Zara Larsson were spotted partying with the woman of the hour: Tyla.
The gathering took place following the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, where Tyla secured her second career win for Best African Music Performance (for her hit “Push 2 Start”). The celebrations reportedly centred around the star-studded Epic Records x Hennessy bash at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles.
While Tyla dazzled earlier in the night in a sheer DSquared2 gown, the after-party vibe was all about celebration and camaraderie among the next generation of global music icons. Eyewitnesses noted the group dancing and enjoying the custom “Say You Love Me” dessert station, with the energy in the room reflecting a shift in the pop landscape—one that is increasingly borderless.
The photo of the four artists represents a massive cross-section of modern pop culture:
- Tyla (South Africa): Leading the Amapiano/Pop crossover charge.
- Lara Raj (USA/India): Representing the global girl group phenomenon via HYBE’s KATSEYE.
- Zara Larsson (Sweden): The established European pop powerhouse.
- MOLIY (Ghana/USA): The rising Afro-fusion star known for her unique melodic style.
Fans on social media immediately flooded the comments, calling for a “mega-collab” and praising the unity between the different corners of the industry—from K-pop infrastructure and Afro-fusion to Scandinavian pop perfection. As the night wound down, this “link-up” served as a perfect reminder that in 2026, the future of pop music is undeniably global.
