Moments you missed from the Grammys: Justin Bieber’s shirtless performance, Cher’s awkward blunder and more

Justin Bieber returned to the Grammys stage for the first time in four years on Sunday night. The singer took to the stage in just a pair of boxer shorts and socks to perform his song, Yukon, showcasing his heavily tattooed chest. 

Supporting him from the audience was his wife, Hailey Bieber, who was seen smiling whilst watching her other-half perform. Earlier in the night, the couple were matching in black as they walked the red carpet. While Hailey looked stunning in a strapless gown, Justin looked chic in an oversized blazer. 

Music legend Cher accidentally called Kendrick Lamar ‘Luther Vandross’ when she announced the winner of record of the year. 

Kendrick picked up the gong for GNX track Luther, which features R&B singer SZA and samples late R&B and soul singer Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s 1982 version of If This World Were Mine.

Cher, who won a lifetime achievement award on the night, took to the stage thinking that she would be reading from a prompter, rather than opening an envelope. 

“And the Grammy goes to, oh they told me it was going to be on the prompter, oh and the Grammy goes to Luther Vandross, no Kendrick Lamar,” she said. 

Kendrick and SZA walked onto the stage laughing with Cher. 

“This is what music is about. Luther Vandross,” said Kendrick, adding that the award is “special for me” because “it’s one of my favourite artists of all time, and they granted us the privilege to do our version of it.”

Actor Jamie Foxx met singer Chappell Roan on the red carpet on Sunday night. The 58-year-old approached the 27-year-old Subway singer whilst she was being photographed ahead of the ceremony and introduced her to his daughters, Annalise and Corinne.

The interaction was cut short when a member of Chappell’s team stepped in to move the train of her sheer, maroon dress. Jamie then apologized as Chappell moved down the carpet for more photos. 

Pharrell Williams, Pusha T and Malice looked super suave as they pulled up on the red carpet in matching plush pink velvet Louis Vuitton suits. 

The stylish trio, who are longtime friends from Virginia Beach, later hit the stage to perform So Far Ahead from their Grammy-nominated album, Let God Sort Em Out. 

After picking up the Americana album Grammy for ‘Big Money’, singer and composer Jon Batiste revealed that he wasn’t worried about the threat that AI poses to the music industry. 

“I don’t think that AI can sound like a human,” he told the press room. “It’s not something that’s possible. It can sound like a simulacrum [of] Jon Batiste, but it won’t be Jon Batiste.”

It was date night for actress Margaret Qualley and her record producer husband Jack Antonoff on Sunday. The talented couple, who wed in 2023, looked super cool as they mingled with various stars backstage, including Sabrina Carpenter and Kendrick Lamar. 

Jack became the fourth person to win all four major categories — album, record, song of the year and best new artist – on Sunday after producing Kendrick’s award-winning Luther album.

The record producer looked uber stylish in a brown leather jacket, denim jeans and white T-shirt, while Margaret was the epitome of Hollywood glamour in a stunning black slip dress, featuring gold detailing on the side.
