LOS ANGELES:
K-Pop superband BTS brought the Grammys to the centre stage by performing the power-packed number ‘Butter’.
Jungkook swooped down from the ceiling in spectacular fashion while other band members sat in the audience alongside stars like Keith Urban. V of the BTS, who was also in the crowd, playfully flirted with Olivia Rodrigo, who performed right before BTS.
In a blink-and-you-miss-it-moment, J-Hope almost slipped while making the transition from one stage to the next but made a smooth (as butter) recovery.
The group then transitioned from superstars to super spies ducking lights as the James Bond theme played.
It was announced that BTS member Jungkook had tested positive for Covid-19 but recovered in time for the Grammys.
The globally successful K-pop group was nominated for Best pop duo or group performance for ‘Butter’, their chart-topping single that released in May 2021.
BTS was also nominated in 2021 in the same category for ‘Dynamite’ but the award went to ‘Rain on Me’ by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.
Following the Grammys ceremony, BTS will be sticking around in Las Vegas for four dates on their ‘Permission to Dance on Stage’ tour on April 8, 9, 15 and 16 at Allegiant Stadium.
BTS recently made a surprise pre-recorded appearance at the Oscars, celebrating their favourite Disney and Pixar movies, including ‘Coco’ and ‘Aladdin’. IANS
