Lizzo performs at the Grammys alongside an entire gospel choir

Lizzo brought the party to the 2023 Grammy Awards.

The 34-year-old artist commanded attention as she took the stage to perform her latest hits during the awards show on Sunday, Feb. 5, starting the performance with "About Damn Time," before transitioning into the song "Special."

She was joined onstage with a gospel choir. The singers wove the songs in together, so they became a medley: "It's about damn time / you feel special."

For the performance, Lizzo switched out of her orange caped ensemble in favor of a short black number with capped sleeves, sequins and a sparkly crucifix necklace. She wore her hair in a short, loose curls.

Host Trevor Noah described Lizzo as "if dopamine was a person."

During the ceremony, the camera frequently paused on Lizzo and her seat mates, who include her newly Instagram official boyfriend Myke Wright and Adele and her boyfriend Rich Paul.

It was a big night for Lizzo, who was nominated for a total of five Grammys this year, including album of the year, record and song of the year. Beyoncé led the night with nine nominations.

The artist is no stranger to the awards ceremony, previously winning three Grammys.

Aside from Lizzo, Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Steve Lacy, Kim Petras and Sam Smith also performed during the telecast, among others.

Lizzo previously opened up about her journey in the music industry while chatting with TODAY's Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.

“It’s incredible. People don’t really know where I came from…I’ve been working for a long time,” she said in November.
