Justin Bieber reignited his performance fever at the 2026 Grammy Awards after singing Yukon from his latest album SWAG. While he and his wife, Hailey Bieber, coordinated their all-black ensembles on the red carpet and posed lovingly for the cameras, the singer made a risky choice when taking the stage shortly thereafter, where he debuted new back ink of his partner’s face. It seems that according to producer Ben Winston, the star did not decide on his fit until the last minute.
It appears Justin Bieber’s new tattoo is late
Speaking on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, Grammy Awards producer Ben Winston shared what it was like to have Justin Bieber return to the show after missing four years. She talked about the Canadian pop star’s cool vibe, including her last-minute decision to take the stage, where she showed off a brand new tattoo that appears to be from Hailey Bieber’s 2020 magazine shoot. "I don’t think he decided what the costume would be until he came on stage," The 44-year-old revealed.
Justin Bieber’s shirtless look was the talk of the town on social media as he performed a song with live vocals wearing only a pair of custom satin boxers and some socks on his feet. Although the singer has yet to comment on his wife’s possible new back ink, conversations have been going on online for quite some time.
Opening up about how the Baby hitmaker only took 15 minutes out of his allotted 90-minute rehearsal slot, Ben Winston shared, “He’s not even really saying, ‘This is what I’m going to do.’ When we approached him about his creative, he was like, I’m just going to get on stage and sing." (Thus)
