Justin Bieber Leaves Fans Worried After Almost Naked Grammys Moment
Justin Bieber surprised viewers at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night with a performance that quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the show. The singer returned to the Grammy stage after several years away, and his appearance immediately caught attention for how exposed and emotional it felt.
Bieber walked onto the stage at the Crypto.com Arena wearing only purple boxer shorts and socks. He was shirtless and holding a purple guitar that matched his outfit. At thirty-one, he looked calm but serious as he performed Yukon, one of his newer songs, in a quiet and stripped-down style.
This marked his first Grammy performance in four years. Bieber had stepped back from public performances after canceling his 2022 world tour due to ongoing health issues. The simple look put all focus on his voice and tattoos. There were no dancers or big visuals. The moment felt personal, almost uncomfortable for some viewers, but also very intentional.
Yukon comes from Bieber’s seventh album, Swag, which was released last summer without much warning. Music critics have noted that the album moves away from his earlier pop sound and leans more toward R&B. The song was nominated for Best R&B Performance, though the award went to Kehlani earlier in the night.
Justin. Bieber.

During the performance, Bieber kept his eyes closed for long stretches. He sang softly and barely moved. When the song ended, he didn’t say anything. He simply walked off the stage. The audience stayed quiet for a moment before reacting.
Cameras later showed Hailey Bieber smiling in the crowd. Her reaction stood out next to the heavy mood of the performance.
In his personal life, Bieber has gone through major changes. According to public announcements from the couple, he and Hailey welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024. Since then, Bieber has mostly stayed out of the spotlight and focused on family.
That quiet period seems to be ending. Along with Swag, Bieber released a follow-up project, Swag II, expanding on the same sound. The albums include collaborations with Tems, Rosé, and Eddie Benjamin, signaling a clear shift in his musical direction.
Industry reports say Bieber is now preparing for a major return to live shows. He is set to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this April. This will be his first full U.S. concert run in years. According to multiple music industry sources, the deal is reportedly worth more than $10 million.
