Justin Bieber Returning to Grammys 2026 Stage for the First Time in 4 Years

We're counting the days until we can see Justin Bieber again.

The "Daisies" singer made his highly anticipated return to the Grammys stage on Feb. 1, marking his first appearance at the annual music awards show since 2022.

While singing "YUKON" at the mic, Justin went shirtless—wearing only a pair of grey boxers and matching socks—with his abs on full display for the intimate performance. 

From the audience, wife Hailey Bieber could be seen smiling and grooving to the beat. 

Justin ended the stripped-down show—which didn't feature any background graphics or stage decor, aside from musical instruments—by simply walking off stage. 

The Grammys first confirmed that the 31-year-old—who received four nominations for his album SWAG, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best R&B Performance—was expected to perform at the ceremony on Jan. 28. 

It was a milestone moment for Justin, considering he hasn't attended the Grammys in four years.

During his last appearance at the ceremony in 2022, Justin performed “Peaches," the hit song off his 2021 Justice album. The Canadian artist then embarked on a Justice World Tour, but had to cancel it altogether in 2023 due to ongoing health issues, including a diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

"This past weekend, I performed at Rock in Rio and I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil," he wrote in a statement shared to his Instagram Stories in September 2022. “After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I'm going to be ok, but I need time to rest and get better.”

Though he later made a brief return to the stage during the 2024 NHL All-Star Player draft in Toronto, the "Baby" singer—who shares son Jack Blues, 17 months, with Hailey—has largely stayed away from live performances ever since.

But now that he's had time to rest and recover, Justin is back as strong as ever with his Grammy-nominated album SWAG and its follow-up, SWAG II.

Justin is in good company with other artists at the top of their game. Keep reading for a full list of stars who won big at the 2026 Grammys...
