Justin Bieber makes dramatic Grammy comeback in boxers and socks

Bieber’s Performance

The singer performed his hit song Yukon in an intimate, stripped-down setting, without any stage decorations or special effects. He stood on stage with a guitar in hand, keeping his look consistent throughout – just boxers and socks.

In the audience, Hailey Bieber closely watched her husband’s performance. Cameras frequently captured her reactions as she smiled and cheered him on, supporting him during his return to the main music stage after a long break from live concerts.

This year, Justin Bieber received four Grammy nominations at once: Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best R&B Performance. These mark his 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th nominations over the course of his career. Previously, he won two Grammy awards in 2016 and 2021.

Bieber’s last Grammy performance took place in 2022, when he sang Peaches alongside Daniel Caesar and Giveon. After that, he paused his touring activities due to health issues and performed live only rarely.

Before the ceremony, Justin and Hailey walked the red carpet together. Other artists who appeared on stage that evening included Sabrina Carpenter, Bruno Mars, and other nominees.

Bieber’s comeback was one of the most anticipated moments of the 2026 Grammys, and his minimalist outfit has already sparked a flurry of discussion on social media. His hit song Yukon marked the symbolic start of a new chapter in his career, and fans are now eagerly awaiting his performance at Coachella later this year.
