Looking Back at 5 Notable Live TV Blunders from the Grammys: From Beyonce's Missed Award to Harry Styles' Performance Debacle

Anticipation of the 66th Annual Grammys Sparks Memories of Former On-Air Mistakes

In the lead-up to Sunday, February 4, when the 66th annual Grammy Awards will be held at the Crypto.com stadium in Los Angeles, we take a look back at some of the most memorable live TV gaffes that the awards show has ever had. Attendees at the Trevor Noah–hosted event can look forward to seeing some of the biggest stars in music perform, including Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Ed Sheeran, Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, SZA, and more.

Due to the unpredictability of live performances, previous Grammy ceremonies have had their share of embarrassing moments that audiences will never forget.

1. Queen Bey Misses Her Award (2023): Beyonce was noticeably absent when her name was called to accept her award at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Beyonce, who had nine Grammy nominations and won for Best R&B Song with "Cuff It," was conspicuously absent from the stage as Viola Davis delivered the victory speech. As the camera shifted to reveal a vacant seat, chaos erupted. At long last, Beyonce's trophy was raised to the stage by Nile Rodgers and Terius "The Dream" Gesteelde-Diamant. Beyoncé, Trevor Noah told the crowd, was en route but was snarled in traffic. Beyonce did show up, while many were skeptical on social media; Trevor made light of the situation by recognizing her tardiness.

2. Harry Goes Round and Round (Last Year): Although Harry Styles was celebrating his Album of The Year win for "Harry's House," an unexpected turn of events occurred during his performance of "As It Was." The much-anticipated moment took a surprising turn, confusing watchers and enthusiasts alike.

3. Adele's 2017 Tribute to George Michael: At the beginning of her 2017 show, Adele played George Michael's 1996 song "Fastlove." This was a touching tribute to Michael's legacy. Midway through her performance, Adele stopped to address her pitch. As proof of her determination to pay tribute to the late George Michael with meticulous accuracy, the perfectionist always asked for a fresh start.

4. Christina Falls (After the 2011 Super Bowl): Christina Aguilera, fresh off her National Anthem gaffe at the Super Bowl, encountered yet another obstacle during the 2011 Grammys. An unexpected element was added to the solemn homage to Aretha Franklin when Christina, who was joined on stage by Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride, Florence Welch, and Yolanda Adams, nearly fell.

These embarrassing gaffes that happened on live television highlight how unpredictable and spontaneous the Grammy Awards are, which are nevertheless a great venue for music's biggest festivities. Fans can't wait for the live broadcast of the 66th Grammys to reveal the shocking announcements and unforgettable moments that will undoubtedly add new chapters to its legendary history.
