Mac Miller’s parents will attend this year’s Grammy Awards.

Swimming was posthumously nominated in December, three months after the 26-year-old died of an accidental overdose.

It was the Self Care hitmaker’s first Grammy nomination.

It goes up against Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy, Travis Scott’s Astroworld, Nipsey Hussle’s Victory Lap and Pusha T’s Daytona.

The couple have been keeping their son’s legacy alive with The Mac Miller Circles Fund, which has already raised almost $1 million in donations to help children in his hometown of Pittsburgh.

Shortly after the nominations were announced early last month, Karen shared a screenshot of the official Recording Academy’s congratulatory tweet to her Instagram page, adding several angel and prayer hand emojis.

The rapper was found dead on September 7 at his Studio City home; an autopsy reported showed he died from an accidental overdose due to mixed drug toxicity of Fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.

Swimming hit number 3 on the Billboard charts upon it’s August release; it returned to the top ten after his death.
