Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak are making a beeline for the stage at the GRAMMYs 2021.
Full story below…
All week, the pair – who are going by Silk Sonic for their new duo venture – have been playfully “begging” organizers for music’s biggest night to perform.
Well, their wish (which we imagine was locked in way ahead of time), has been granted. They have officially been added to the performer line-up for Sunday night’s ceremony.
Bruno and Anderson will be delivering the first televised performance of ‘Leave The Door Open.’

We have been trying to call you all week. Have you changed your numbers? We would love for #silksonic to make their TV debut at the #GRAMMYs. Are you free this Sunday night? Follow back and we will DM for details.— Recording Academy / GRAMMYs (@RecordingAcad) March 9, 2021

And now we know WHY a certain artist wasn’t nominated! 🙄 They were looking out for Bruno Thee Midget! 🤣 This was all orchestrated #SCAMMYS
We love to see it 💯😈🤳🏽

Normani has never attended the Grammys ever in her life. They dont invite dancers. Lol
Good to see them perform this live exclusively. Will definitely be tuning in! PS: this could mean that Chloe x Halle, Jhene Aiko and H.E.R. can still join right? 😉
They overlook and refuse to acknowledge certain black artists who are more than qualified to receive a nomination or perform new music, but they’re quick to make room for Bruno. They make a bigger joke of themselves every year.
You don’t say that when Beyoncé cleans the awards out.
Because Beyonce is the one exception who can count on being OVER-nominated by the Grammys.
Looking forward to the article about how this year was the lowest rated broadcast.
Be sure to post and shade them TGJ like you do everyone else 👀
How the hell they made this exception and refused to acknowledge The Weeknd and After Hours? say what ya will but his Single is still slaying the charts –> Blinding Lights and mind you he didn’t need no challenge or Tiktok to make this feat smh this is favoritism at its finest and even though I like Bruno lets be pure honest here and if Taylor wins album of the year again I am done with all these award together completely including our own shows “which legally isn’t anymore *shade ” that cater to popularity instead of true authenticity / artistry – body’s of work.

I like Bruno but I have to agree. There are many black vocalists who are grossly unrepresented. Ledisi, Toni Braxton & Kem for example have all released new music recently. None of them have been invited or asked to sing for any Award show.
They are still recording traditional soul music in 2020-2021. If Bruno/Anderson .Paak are invited, that means people are still interested in that style of music. Toni Braxton is a legend. So there is no excuse for why she is never asked.
