The Grammy’s are a place to reminisce about some of our favorite songs, albums, and performances that impacted fans. The Recording Academy is known for making pop culture moments on which we can look back.

Check out some of our favorite Grammy performances.

Lil Nas X

When we were introduced to Lil Nas X, it was apparent that he had star power. His debut album Montero solidified who he was as an artist, and this Grammy performance showcased his unique performance style.
