Watch Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak Perform "Leave the Door Open" as Silk Sonic at 2021 Grammys

The duo’s performance was announced earlier this month following a playful back-and-forth on Twitter between the artists and the Recording Academy.

As confirmed just days ago, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak did indeed bring their Silk Sonic collaborative energies to the 2021 Grammys stage for a debut performance of their new single “Leave the Door Open.”

News of the performance was preceded by a playful back-and-forth on Twitter between the artists and the Recording Academy, the latter of whom at one point joked that they had been trying to call the two “all week” and feared they had changed their respective numbers. At any rate, the public request and subsequent invitation resulted in Silk Sonic’s television debut on Sunday night.

Up top, catch the Silk Sonic performance in full via YouTube. Bruno and Paak also delivered a tribute performance to pay homage to Little Richard, the iconic artist who passed away in 2020.

And for more 2021 Grammys performances, peep this.
