The 2018 GRAMMYs are all about the performances and this year’s show did not disappoint. From Kendrick Lamar’s politically charged medley and Lady Gaga’s beautiful rendition of Million Reasons, to Kesha and co’s stunning nod to the Time’s Up movement – here are our standout stage moments…
Kesha
Kesha reduced the audience (and viewers at home) to tears with an emotional performance of her poignant single Praying. She was joined on stage with Camila Cabello, Cyndi Lauper, Julia Michaels, Andra Day and a massive choir as they paid homage to the Time’s Up movement.

Childish Gambino may have taken a back seat while Donald Glover was busy making history in Hollywood, but he was back in full force performing his track Terrified from Grammy-nominated album, Awaken, My Love! with special guest vocalist J.D. McCrary – a 10-year-old actor/singer who will star as Simba in Disney’s upcoming remake of The Lion King.
DJ Khaled, Rihanna and Byson Tiller
DJ Khaled, Rihanna and Bryson Tiller gave us all what we wanted as they recreated the Wild Thoughts music video on the GRAMMY stage. As always, Riri SLAYED.

Bruno Mars and Cardi B brought all of the 80s vibes with their performance of Finesse Remix.
Elton John and Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus became the latest young star to join Sir Elton John on stage as they performed a duet of Tiny Dancer, and the audience loved it.
