The Weeknd’s Surprise 2025 Grammys Performance

In a twist that no one saw coming, the Weeknd made an unexpected appearance at the 2025 Grammys on February 2.

Abel Tesfaye, known to many as the Weeknd, was introduced by Harvey Mason Jr., head of the Recording Academy. He performed “Cry for Me,” a track from his latest album Hurry Up Tomorrow. Joining him on stage was Playboi Carti and a sea of dancers all dressed in striking red outfits. The performance was truly something to see.

The album Hurry Up Tomorrow wraps up a trilogy that started with After Hours in 2020 and continued with Dawn FM in 2022. Some songs you might have heard are “Timeless” and “São Paulo.” Collaborating artists include big names like Playboi Carti, Anitta, Lana Del Rey, Justice, Giorgio Moroder, Future, Florence and the Machine, and even Travis Scott.
