Justin Bieber returns to Grammys stage for stripped-down performance

Justin Bieber marked his comeback with a minimalist, intimate performance at the 2026 Grammys, earning four nominations for his album Swag, his first appearance since 2022.

  • In awards results, some observers said much of Bieber's set was karaoke with pre-programmed music, and 'Yukon' lost to Kehlani's 'Folded.'
  • Commercially, the set doubled as high-profile marketing for Skylrk underwear introduced in January, while Bieber received four Grammy nominations including album of the year.
