The 63rd Grammys kicked off Monday’with a song from Harry Styles as organizers sought to ditch the virtual pandemic-era awards show format with a series of live appearances from the industry’s biggest stars — socially distanced, of course.

Styles delivered his hit ‘Watermelon Sugar’ in a black leather suit and a green feather boa. He chose to go shirtless under his tuxedo jacket, staying true to his gender-fluid, retro-inspired aesthetic. Styles paired the look with heeled loafers, several chunky rings, and a cross necklace.

Last year’s big winner Billie Eilish quickly followed up with her own nominated hit ‘Everything I Wanted’. She had support from Harry who stood by on the sidelines and cheered her on.

Top contenders of the night – Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa, who are contending for top honours including Album of the year, took the stage to perform their hit tracks. While Taylor took viewers into her whimsical land with her ‘Folklore’ hits, Dua left the audience ‘Levitating’ with her sassy and upbeat performances.
