Watch 2022 Grammy performances: J Balvin, Olivia Rodrigo, Silk Sonic, more
"It's not an awards show. It's a concert where we also give out awards," Grammys host Trevor Noah said at the top of tonight's Grammys telecast, which is live from Las Vegas' MGM Grand Arena.
It felt that way too, as the night opened with Silk Sonic performing "777," then a little Trevor Noah opening monologue — "we're gonna be singing, we're gonna be dancing, we're gonna be keeping people's names out our mouths" — then Olivia Rodrigo performed "Drivers License," followed by J Balvin with Maria Becerra performing "Qué Más Pues?," all before a single award was given out.
BTS were on hand to perform "Butter" in a complex "art heist" production number.
There were also a few performances during the pre-telecast ceremony where most of the Grammys were given out, including Allison Russell, Curtis Stewart, Jimmie Allen and more.
