Justin Bieber Returns to Grammys With Stripped-Down, Shirtless 'Yukon' Performance

The bare-bones set signaled a high-profile step in his comeback after reduced performing following a Ramsay Hunt diagnosis.

Overview

  • The 31-year-old delivered a slow, intimate take on "Yukon" at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena wearing shorts and socks with no shirt.
  • Staging was intentionally minimal, featuring a microphone, a guitar and a mirror, and he exited after setting the guitar on the floor.
  • It marked his first Grammys performance since 2022, drawing a standing ovation as host Trevor Noah praised the atmosphere in the room.
  • Cameras showed Hailey Bieber watching and applauding during the set, underscoring the performance’s personal framing.
  • Bieber arrived as a multi-nominee for Swag, including Album of the Year, with reports indicating he is slated to headline Coachella in the spring alongside Karol G and Sabrina Carpenter.
