Gaga performed the title track from the record as well as one of the pairās other collaborations from the album, āDo I Love Youā. While she was singing the latter, footage of her and her collaborator was shown on a screen behind her.
Bennett was unable to attend the ceremony because of his health issues. The 95-year-old star was diagnosed with Alzheimerās disease back in 2016. However, he delivered a video introducing Gaga to the stage.

The duo were nominated for five Grammys this year, including Record Of The Year, Best Music Video and Best Pop Group/Duo Performance for āI Get A Kick Out Of Youā. During the premiere ceremony, they won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for āLove For Saleā.
In a review of the album, NME said: āāLove For Saleā is best when Bennett and Gaga playfully trade lines and sing in unison, with the veteran singer countering his collaboratorās belting vocal with artful restraint [ā¦] Though theyāre vastly different icons, from entirely different generations, itās testament to their power that both artists find their own voices in such timeless classics.ā
The Grammys 2022 is taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas tonight, after the show was postponed from its planned January event due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Other performers set to appear tonight includeĀ H.E.R., Nas, Justin Bieber, and more.
Silk Sonic opened the show with a performance of ‘777’, while Olivia Rodrigo delivered a powerful version of her breakout single ‘Drivers License’. BTS, meanwhile, became undercover agents for a stunning rendition of ‘Butter’, and Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow teamed up for a grand performance.
Foo Fighters were also scheduled to perform at the ceremony, but cancelled their appearance after the death of Hawkins last week (March 25). The band have won three Grammys so far today, including Best Rock Album for āMedicine At Midnightā. Billie Eilish used her rain-soaked performance of ‘Happier Than Ever’ to pay tribute to the late drummer.
Other early winners include Kanye West for Best Melodic Rap Performance for ‘Hurricane’ and Best Rap Song for ‘Jail’, Tyler, The Creator for Best Rap Album for ‘Call Me If You Get Lost’, and Olivia Rodrigo for Best Pop Solo Performance for ‘Drivers Licenseā. You can keep up with all of the winners from the main ceremony as they happen here.
