Justin Bieber returned to the Grammys stage on Sunday (February 1) for the first time in four years with a commanding performance that captured every eye in the room at at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Standing in a single spotlight in a performance that host Trevor Noah later described as "captivating," Bieber sang a rendition of his SWAG hit "Yukon" that was stripped-down in every sense of the word — no shoes, no shirt, just the musician showing off his skills armed only with a guitar and a loop pedal.

As Bieber sang lyrics like, "What would I do if I didn't love you, baby?" the camera cut to his wife, Hailey Bieber, in the audience, smiling and looking on with pride at her husband of seven years. After several rounds of lyrics repeating, "Love you," he slowly walked off stage to the audience's applause.

Bieber's Grammys performance may also double as a look at what fans might expect at his upcoming appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in April. He was previously announced as a headliner for the 2026 festival, alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G.

Once again hosted by Noah, the 2026 Grammy Awards featured performances from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Tyler, The Creator, Clipse and Pharrell Williams, Alex Warren, Leon Thomas, Addison Rae, sombr, KATSEYE, Olivia Dean, The Marías and more as well as tributes to legendary musicians like Ozzy Osbourne, D'Angelo and more industry creatives lost over the past year.
