BINI Bags Favorite Global Music Star at 2026 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, Edging Out Taylor Swift
P-pop girl group BINI has made history once again after being named Favorite Global Music Star at the 2026 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, beating a list of international hitmakers that included Taylor Swift.
The Nation’s Girl Group represented Asia in the global category and went up against Tyla (Africa), Zara Larsson (Europe), Taylor Swift (North America), Olivia Dean (United Kingdom), Karol G (Latin America) and Tame Impala (Australia), according to INQUIRER.net. BINI’s name also appears under the category in Deadline’s full list of winners.
The win is a first for the country. BINI is the first Filipino act, and the first non-Korean representative from Asia, to be nominated for and win in the category. Past Asian representatives included K-pop groups BIGBANG, BTS, BLACKPINK and Stray Kids.
The group thanked supporters in a post on its official X account. “Thank you, Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2026, Blooms and everyone who voted for BINI as Favorite Global Music Star. It’s truly an honor to be part of this year’s winners!” the members wrote, adding a playful line about Nickelodeon’s famous green slime: “JUST IN: BINI WILL DEFINITELY GET SLIMED!”
It was a double celebration for the group. BINI was also named Most Influential Southeast Asian Artiste (Female) at the Jupiter Music Awards 2026, The Manila Times reported. “It’s truly an honor to receive this award alongside so many amazing artists across Asia,” the group said.
The Kids’ Choice Awards were held on November 14 (US time) at Television City in Los Angeles, with singer Alex Warren as host. BTS, “Stranger Things” and “KPop Demon Hunters” were among the other big winners of the night.
The recognition caps a big year for Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna and Sheena. In April, they became the first P-pop act to perform at Coachella, and they later took home Artist of the Year and Tour of the Year at the 2026 Filipino Music Awards. The members are now in Taiwan for the last stop of their “Signals” World Tour at the New Taipei City Exhibition Hall today, November 15.
For many Blooms, the trophy is proof that votes from Filipino fans can carry a homegrown group to a stage once dominated by global superstars.
