    Justin Bieber made his highly anticipated return to the Grammys and performed his song 'YUKON' for the audience tonight (February 1).

    The singer is up for numerous awards this evening after releasing his first album in years in 2025 titled 'Swag'.

    People were extremely excited to hear him perform once again and were somewhat surprised by the attire Bieber rocked to grace the stage.

    The stage had very little on it other than mirror, decks, and a loop pedal and - like the stage - Bieber had very little on too.

    For his performance, the 31-year-old wore a pair of sports shorts and a pair of socks, as if we'd all just walked into his bedroom during a rehearsal.

    People were quick to raise questions about what the 'DAISIES' hitmaker was wearing.

    "I’m peeing myself why is Justin Bieber standing there with his gym shorts and socks singing this song rn," one wrote on Twitter.

    "What just happened with Justin Bieber at the Grammys," said another.

    Someone else pondered: "Why is Justin Bieber singing in underwear?"

    "Justin Bieber looks crazy.. why was he in them socks and shorts," echoed a different person on social media.

    Elsewhere, people praised his performance, with some describing it as 'beautiful and vulnerable'.

    "Justin Bieber still knows how to command a stage," one wrote.

    "Comfortable, confident, controlled," said another.

    Bieber was joined by his wife Hailey Bieber this evening is the celebrity pair's first Grammys outing in four years, after both taking a step back from the public eye of late.

    Rhode beauty brand founder Hailey was spotted watching her husband perform and seemed to be beaming with pride.

    The couple, who wed in 2018, share one-year-old son together, Jack. The tot was born in August 2025 and, in light of Bieber's difficulties growing up in the spotlight, it's believed that the they plan on largely keeping their child out of the public eye.

    Hailey recently gave same rare insight into their relationship and private life amid reports that their marriage was on the rocks.

    "We’re just taking it a day at a time," she told GQ in November.

    "We both feel very protective of our son and I don’t think that’s ever going to change, but our life is our life and it is really public, so I think we’re just going to cross every bridge that we need to when we get there. But as of right now, I feel really comfortable about the way we are sharing things and not sharing things."
