TWICE has set new records with their performance at Lollapalooza 2025 and their latest music achievements. The group became the first K-pop girl group to headline the festival and scored their highest position yet on the Billboard Hot 100. Their success continues to grow as they celebrate their 10th anniversary with new music, tours, and special projects.
TWICE Breaks Barriers as First K-Pop Girl Group to Headline Lollapalooza
On August 2, 2025, TWICE made history at Lollapalooza Chicago. The nine-member group performed a 21-song set at Grant Park, becoming the first female K-pop act to headline the festival. Their high-energy performance included hits like “The Feels,” “FANCY,” “Feel Special,” and their latest title track “This Is For.”
The crowd was filled with ONCE (TWICE’s fandom), waving light sticks and singing along. The group’s synchronized choreography and live vocals impressed both fans and new listeners. A drone light show during their encore added a spectacular finish to their set.
Fans and media praised the performance online, calling it a milestone for K-pop. Many noted how TWICE proved that girl groups can dominate major international festivals just as strongly as boy groups.
TWICE’s Songs Reach New Heights on Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify
While making waves at Lollapalooza, TWICE also achieved their best-ever ranking on the Billboard Hot 100. Their song “Strategy” jumped 18 spots to No. 74, marking their highest position on the chart. Another track, “TAKEDOWN” (performed by members Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung), climbed even higher to No. 67.
On Spotify U.S., both songs saw massive streams on August 4, 2025:
- “TAKEDOWN” – 556,417 streams (No. 42)
- “Strategy” – 511,773 streams (No. 48)
These achievements highlight TWICE’s growing influence in the global music scene. Their latest mini-album, “Strategy,” includes songs from the Netflix animation “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” which has helped boost their popularity.
Sabrina Carpenter Playfully “Arrests” TWICE Members During Her Lollapalooza Set
The surprises continued on August 3, 2025, when TWICE members Momo, Sana, and Jihyo appeared during Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining performance. Carpenter has a tradition of “arresting” celebrities or fans with pink handcuffs during her song “Juno.”
When the Jumbotron showed the TWICE members in the crowd, Carpenter joked:
“Damn, we have some beautiful people in this audience tonight, but there are three girls I can’t take my eyes off of. I was gonna say, ’cause I had to look not once, but twice.”
She then playfully asked if they were single and offered them handcuffs, saying:
“If I were to give you these handcuffs, then I could marry all three of you, right?”
The moment went viral, with fans loving the fun interaction between the two artists.
TWICE’s 10th Anniversary Celebrations and Upcoming Projects
TWICE is celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2025 with multiple projects:
- 4th full album “This Is For”

Their Lollapalooza performance and Billboard success add to an already historic year for the group. Fans are excited to see what they do next as they continue breaking records.
