Overview
- During the Best New Artist medley at Crypto.com Arena, Warren struggled with his in-ear pack and briefly fell about half a beat behind while performing “Ordinary.”
- He removed an earpiece at one point, then regained his timing and finished the set, which included being lifted over the crowd on a mechanical platform.
- After the show, he posted video on Instagram and TikTok of the distorted, delayed audio he says he heard, writing, “When you’re performing at the Grammys and all you hear is this in your ears… This would only happen to me.”
- Fans and public figures rallied in support, with comments from celebrities including Courtney Cox and Trisha Paytas praising his recovery and vocals.
- As of the latest coverage, the Recording Academy and CBS have not offered an official explanation for the malfunction, and Olivia Dean won Best New Artist.
