Last weekend, Justin Bieber made a notable comeback to the Grammys after a lengthy absence, where he was in the running for several awards.
Bieber’s last appearance at the Grammys was in 2022. Four years ago, he attended the glamorous event with his wife Hailey Bieber, dressed in an oversized blazer and pink beanie hat.
Since then, the couple has largely maintained a low profile but is now gradually reentering the public eye following the success of Justin’s albums ‘SWAG’ and ‘SWAG II’.
This year, Justin was nominated for categories such as Pop Solo Performance, R&B Performance, Best Vocal Album, and Album of the Year.
Despite not winning any awards, his performance of ‘YUKON’ drew significant attention as he took the stage wearing only his boxers.
The unexpected choice of attire left viewers puzzled.
One Twitter user questioned: “Why is Justin Bieber singing in underwear?” while another commented, “I’m peeing myself why is Justin Bieber standing there with his gym shorts and socks singing this song rn.”
Rather than being an oversight, some fans think there was a strategic motive behind his choice to perform scantily clad.
Observant fans noted that the boxers he wore were from SKYLRK, his own clothing line.
SKYLRK offers boxer shorts, typically sold in packs of three, though the lavender pair he wore at the event is not available on the brand’s site.

At the moment, a set of three white boxers can still be purchased online, but other varieties have sold out.
The socks Justin sported are also believed to be from SKYLRK, which have similarly sold out online.
Launched quietly last July, Justin’s fashion brand focuses on basics, offering products ranging from $250 jeans to $80 slides. Following his Grammys performance, The New York Times reported that numerous items quickly sold out online.
It is speculated that the boxers and socks he wore during the event might hint at future offerings from SKYLRK. A savvy marketing move, indeed.
Aside from Justin’s daring stage appearance, another standout look at the Grammys was Chappell Roan’s outfit, which left little to the imagination.
The dress, inspired by Thierry Mugler’s Spring/Summer 1998 collection, seemed to be held up by nipple piercings.
Roan’s makeup artist later confirmed that the nipples were, in fact, prosthetic.
