The singer is up for four awards, including Album of the Year for Swag, Best Pop Solo Performance for “Daisies,” and Best R&B Performance for “Yukon”
After four long years away from the Grammys stage, Justin Bieber brought “Yukon” to the 68th annual ceremony on Sunday.
Held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the singer performed the Swag highlight shirtless, wearing just shorts and socks like he was livestreaming from his living room. “What would I do if I didn’t love you, baby?” he sang, playing a purple electric guitar.
“Yukon” is nominated for Best R&B Performance. Swag is also up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, while “Daisies” earned a nod for Best Pop Solo Performance.
Bieber’s performance follows Sabrina Carpenter, Bruno Mars and Rosé, and this year’s Best New Artist nominees (Leon Thomas, Addison Rae, Olivia Dean, Alex Warren, Sombr, Lola Young, Katseye, and the the Marías).

Bieber is slowly making his return to performing after cutting short his postponement-plagued Justice World Tour in 2023, following a range of health issues. The year prior, Bieber revealed he was diagnosed with Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, which temporarily left his face partially paralyzed.
His next big stage is Coachella, headlining the music festival across two weekends in April. Bieber negotiated “directly” with promoter Goldenvoice to secure a seven-figure deal, a source close to Bieber told Rolling Stone last year. “It’s a groundbreaking move for a headliner, and it’s something he built entirely on his own,” the insider explained. “Between headlining Coachella and the success of Swag, it’s clear this is the start of an exciting new era for Justin — one where he’s fully in the driver’s seat.”
