Justin Bieber’s performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards was stripped down in more ways than one.
The singer, 31, went shirtless while hitting the stage to perform his hit single “Yukon” on Sunday, February 1, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Bieber showed off his chest tattoos as he took the microphone with the spotlight right over him, opting to wear only silver boxers and black tube socks as he strummed on a purple guitar.
“What would I do (What would I do?) / If I didn’t love you, babe?” he crooned. “What would I do if I didn’t lovе you, babe?”
His wife, Hailey Bieber, was beaming with pride while watching from the audience, and was seen finger clapping when the camera panned to her as he walked off stage.
Prior to his performance, the couple rocked the red carpet together. Justin wore an oversized black Balenciaga suit, accessorizing with a Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry 100 carat necklace and his nose ring.
Hailey, 29, showed off her curves in a figure-hugging black Alaïa dress, which featured a small train. She completed her sleek and chic look with a polished updo and pointed black shoes. She opted for natural glam, adding a bit of sparkle with a Lorraine Schwartz necklace featuring a 30-carat pear-shaped diamond front and center, paired with matching 20-carat earrings.

It’s an exciting night for the Biebers, considering Justin’s album Swag has been nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Plus, his song “Daisies” earned a nod in the Best Solo Pop Performance category and “Yukon” is up for Best R&B Performance.
“This is more of a personal project that Justin has been wanting to put out, almost like a mixtape,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly before the official release of his album. “His label is planning a more traditional pop album for early next year.”
“Yukon” is a song that hits close to home for Justin, as Hailey and the couple’s son, Jack Blues, both appeared in his music video that was shot and directed by Cole Bennett.
Swag marked Justin’s first studio album since Justice, which dropped in March 2021.
In another track titled “Walking Away,” Justin seemingly alludes to how he and Hailey have grown stronger as a couple.

“Girl, we better stop before we say some s*** / We’ve been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break / And remember what grace is,” he sings in the track.
Justin also shows his commitment in the lyrics, singing, “Baby, I ain’t walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise. I told you I’d change / It’s just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain’t walking away.”
Hailey opened up about how she and Justin navigated their relationship in the public eye during a November 2025 interview with GQ, saying, “We’re just taking it a day at a time. 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.”
She noted they are selective about what they post, adding, “But as of right now, I feel really comfortable about the way we are sharing things and not sharing things.”
