Most of the Grammys performances are announced beforehand, but they had one big surprise performance in store this year: The Weeknd hitting the Grammy stage after boycotting the awards ceremony back in 2021. The performance came two days after the release of his new album Hurry Up Tomorrow and he performed two of the album’s songs, “Cry For Me” and “Timeless” with special guest Playboi Carti. In classic Weeknd fashion, it was a moody, smoky, dimly-lit performance, and you can watch it below.
