Justin Bieber Performs at the Grammy in Shorts

The 68th Grammy Awards on Sunday featured a mix of styles, with a few unexpected moments, including one from Justin Bieber. Bieber delivered a memorable performance, returning to the Grammy stage for the first time in four years in a look that caught everyone’s attention. Instead of the usual formal outfit, he walked onstage wearing shorts and socks.

Bieber performed his song Yukon in a bare setting. On the stage, there were no dancers, background visuals, or large production effects. He was alone.

Cameras frequently showed his wife, Hailey Bieber, in the audience during the performance. This highlighted her presence and support during the performance. Fans quickly picked her reaction and shared clips across social media.

The performance carried extra meaning because of Bieber’s recent health history. In 2022, he paused his Justice World Tour after facing health challenges related to Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Since then, he has kept a low profile.

Yukon appears on his 2025 album Swag, which earned several Grammy nominations this year. Bieber also received nominations for Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best R& B Performance, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

After the show, reactions poured in online. Some praised his vocal control. Others focused on the emotion of seeing him perform again after many years.
