BTS took over the 2021 GRAMMYs stage as they closed out the show their inescapable feel-good hit, “Dynamite”.
The song’s title is indicative of the boy band’s career trajectory, carving out a place in history when “Dynamite” became the first chart-topper by an all-South Korean act. All seven members rose to the celebratory occasion as they transformed Seoul, Korea into a spot-on replica of downtown Los Angeles since they couldn’t attend the ceremony.
Hosted by Trevor Noah, the show kicked off with three back-to-back performances from Harry Styles, Billie Eilish and Haim, who performed from a circle of stages that recalled the set-up of Jools Holland’s BBC TV show.
