Grammys 2024: All of the Performances

Brandy Clark

Brandy Clark was in the running for six awards, ultimately winning her first-ever Grammy, in the Best Americana Performance category, for “Dear Insecurity.” She performed the song with SistaStrings—watch it on the Grammys website.

Burna Boy

Burna Boy performed a medley at the ceremony, breezing through “On Form” and “City Boys” before bringing out 21 Savage and Brandy for “Sittin’ on Top of the World.” In the end, he was shut out of the four categories in which he was nominated.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa opened the ceremony with a medley of new song “Training Season,” Barbie hit “Dance the Night,” and the Tame Impala–produced “Houdini.” Her seemingly high-risk performance involved crawling around a metal jungle gym clad in black leather. The two categories in which she was nominated—Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media—eventually went to her Barbie comrade Billie Eilish.

Fantasia Barrino

Multi-Grammy-winner Fantasia Barrino took the stage for a lively cover of Tina Turner’s “Rolling on the River” as part of the In Memoriam segment. At one point, she stalked into the crowd in search of a “pretty lady who doesn’t mind moving her hips,” before picking out Dua Lipa for an impromptu dance.

Gaby Moreno and El David Aguilar

Gaby Moreno, who wound up winning Best Latin Pop Album, performed with singer-songwriter El David Aguilar at the Premiere Ceremony.

Jon Batiste

After sweeping the 2022 Grammys, Jon Batiste returned for the In Memoriam segment, performing with Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Ann Nesby, and Cory Henry on a medley.

Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell won Best Folk Album at this year’s Grammys for Joni Mitchell at Newport (Live). She also made her Grammys live debut playing “Both Sides Now” with a band comprising Brandi Carlile, Blake Mills, Allison Russell, Lucius, and Jacob Collier. (Longer recordings have surfaced on YouTube.)

Kirk Franklin

During the Premiere Ceremony, 19-time winner Franklin performed his Best Gospel Performance/Song–nominated “All Things.”

Laufey

Before picking up her first-ever Grammy, for Bewitched in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category, Icelandic singer Laufey performed “From the Start” during the Premiere Ceremony.

Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs

Luke Combs, who also performed at last year’s ceremony, played his Best Country Solo Performance–nominated cover of “Fast Car” with the creator herself, Tracy Chapman, in a performance that captivated viewers.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus won both Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Flowers,” and celebrated with an ad lib–heavy rendition of the track.

Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo played a suitably theatrical “Vampire” to mark her six nominations, wearing a red satin dress and lashings of fake blood. The song and Guts were eventually shut out of all six of their categories.

Pentatonix, J. Ivy, Larkin Poe, Sheila E., and Jordin Sparks

Pentatonix opened the Premiere Ceremony with a little help from Ivy, Poe, Sheila E., and Jordin Sparks.

Robert Glasper, Adam Blackstone, Bob James, Terrace Martin, and Harvey Mason, Sr.

Glasper was up for two awards this year: Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance, both for “Back to Love.” At the premiere ceremony, he performed alongside Harvey Mason, Sr., and fellow 2024 nominees Adam Blackstone, Terrace Martin, and Bob James.

Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder was announced at the last minute, along with the other In Memoriam performers. He opened the segment with a version of Tony Bennett’s “The Best Is Yet To Come.”

SZA

SZA led the pack at this year’s Grammys and converted three of her nine nods. She performed “Snooze” and “Kill Bill” from SOS during the ceremony, in a performance that featured sword-dodging and a literal on-stage dump fire.

Travis Scott

Travis Scott performed his Utopia tracks “My Eyes,” “I Know ?,” and “Fe!n.” He was eventually thwarted by Killer Mike in the Best Rap Album category.

U2

U2 performed “Atomic Sphere” live from the Sphere in Las Vegas in the first-ever broadcast performance from the new venue.
