Justin Bieber gave a well-received performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards, but fans were left wondering something afterwards.
Why was he performing in just his boxer shorts?
The 31-year-old superstar gave a raw and stripped-back performance of his hit song 'YUKON' at the glamorous ceremony.
The Canadian, who was nominated for four awards at the event, held the stage to himself for his performance, shredding away on a guitar.
He wasn’t the only performer to capture people’s attention at the ceremony as Chappell Roan certainly turned a few heads, and got some celebrity reactions for her attire.
But fans were left wondering why Justin took the decision to get up on stage wearing only his underwear.
Perhaps he wanted to show off his tattoos? Perhaps he just really likes those lavender shorts?
It definitely left a lot of fans asking questions.
On X one wrote: “Never thought in 2026 we’d see Justin Bieber outperforming everybody in underpants at the Grammys.”
Another said: “Why the hell is Justin Bieber performing in his UNDERPANTS at the Grammys?
“I don't want to see that s*** lol.”
A third said: “Justin Bieber feel this is the right cultural climate to be performing in his underpants?”
Regular observers of Justin Bieber might already have twigged the reason he was performing in only his pants and socks.
Sadly, it’s not for some deep or personal reason, other than the fact that he has a brand that he has been plugging for some time now.
It’s called Skylrk, and it sells phone cases, jeans, sunglasses, sliders, and… you’ve guessed it - boxer shorts and socks.
In fact, boxer shorts exactly like the ones that he was wearing on stage that night.
The brand’s logo could be seen on the shorts he performed in last night, leading to a reported spike in purchases of the shorts, which come in packs of three.
Either way, it’s good to see Justin back on stage after he took some time out for health reasons.
He also went on to perform at Coachella in April, his first concert since cancelling his 2022 tour.
Last year, he dropped his seventh studio album Swag, his first since 2021’s Justice.
