Justin Bieber turned heads at the 2026 Grammy Awards after taking the stage shirtless, wearing white shorts and black socks while performing his song “Yukon.”

Appearing on the evening of February 1 (Los Angeles time) following an introduction by host Trevor Noah, the Canadian singer performed with a guitar in an intimate, warm setting. Television cameras frequently cut to the audience, capturing Hailey Bieber watching her husband attentively.

The performance quickly became a topic of discussion on social media. On X, viewers praised Bieber’s confidence and distinct personal style after years in the industry. Vanity Fair writer Daniela Tijerina described the set as both polished and free-spirited, highlighting his artistic authenticity.

“Yukon” appears on Bieber’s seventh studio album Swag, a subdued, minimalist track that emphasizes his soft, reflective vocals. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the song conveys spontaneous thoughts and introspection, drawing comparisons to Frank Ocean’s Blonde era.

Now 32, Justin Bieber is one of Canada’s most successful artists, holding more than 22 Guinness World Records, two Grammy Awards, and numerous international honors. In 2011, Time named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
