2022 Grammy Awards Performers List
Silk Sonic, John Legend, Carrie Underwood and J Balvin with Maria Becerra are just some of the stars announced as 2022 Grammy performers. The full performers list includes Jon Batiste, Brothers Osborne, BTS, Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish, H.E.R., Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow, Nas, Olivia Rodrigo and Chris Stapleton. Organizers have promised more surprises too, on music’s biggest night.
Foo Fighters were previously set to perform, but have been removed from the latest press release. They most likely stepped back from performing due to the loss of drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died unexpectedly at the age of 50 on Friday, March 25. BTS’ performance is also up in the air now that member Jungkook tested positive for Covid-19 on March 28. According to Billboard, Big Hit stated that Jungkook’s participation in the band’s upcoming Grammy performance will be “determined by local regulations on COVID-19,” and that they are actively in “discussions with awards organizer[s]”.
If you want to watch BTS perform at the Grammys along with all the other big nominees, sign-up for a free trial to Paramount+ and get a live stream to the show.
