Tyla nominated again for Kids' Choice Award Favourite Global Music Star
The South African singer is up for the fan-voted prize at the 2026 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, a year after winning it and hosting the show.
South African singer Tyla has been nominated for Favourite Global Music Star at the 2026 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, according to SA People, which cites the official nominations list. It is her second consecutive nomination in the category, which she won in 2025.
The 39th annual ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, 14 November 2026, at Television City in Los Angeles. Alex Warren will host.
A regional field
The category is organised by region, with one nominee per territory. Tyla represents Africa. The other nominees are Taylor Swift (North America), BINI (Asia), Karol G (Latin America), Zara Larsson (Europe), Olivia Dean (United Kingdom) and Tame Impala (Australia). The award is decided by fan voting, so the result will depend on the support each nominee attracts.
Last year's ceremony
Tyla hosted the 2025 show on 21 June at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, and also took the Favourite Global Music Star award that night. SA People reports that Nickelodeon's announcement ahead of that ceremony described her as the first African artist to host the show in its 37-year history.
The 2026 nomination does not carry a hosting role: Warren is named as presenter. The source does not say whether Tyla is expected to attend or perform.
For South African readers, the nomination is another sign of the singer's international profile. For British readers, Olivia Dean's place in the same category gives the contest a UK dimension.
