Overview
- During his live performance of “Ordinary” at the 2026 Grammys in Los Angeles, viewers saw him struggle with his earpiece and fall briefly out of sync.
- He fumbled with his in‑ear pack, appeared about half a beat behind, removed a monitor, and then finished the sequence that lifted him above the crowd.
- After the show, he shared Instagram video captioned, “When you’re performing at the Grammys and all you hear is this in your ears,” playing distorted and delayed audio.
- The Recording Academy and CBS have not offered an explanation for the malfunction, and representatives had no further comment as of the latest reports.
- It was his first Grammys performance as a Best New Artist nominee, and Olivia Dean won the category as fans reacted with both criticism and praise online.
