K Pop superstars BTS will appear at this year's Grammy Awards to present a prize, according to a report in Variety.

The group are up for an award themselves this year, for Best Recording Package (alongside Seoul-based branding outfit HuskyFox), against St Vincent's Masseduction, Mitski's Be the Cowboy, the Chairman's The Offering, and Foxhole's Keep Well Thing.

BTS had an astonishing 2018 that saw them break several records across streaming, sales and chart positions, and also perform a triumphant string of stadium shows in the UK, to positive reviews.

Sources also suggest that Taylor Swift and Maroon 5 will not attend, but there are hopes that Drake, who generally has a lukewarm reaction to awards shows, may turn up.

The Grammys will be broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles via CBS on Sunday 10 February at 8pm ET (1am GMT).

Alicia Keys is hosting the ceremony, while performers confirmed so far include Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Janelle Monae, Kacey Musgraves and Post Malone.
