Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa opened the ceremony with a medley of new song “Training Season,” Barbie hit “Dance the Night,” and the Tame Impala–produced “Houdini.” Her seemingly high-risk performance involved crawling around a metal jungle gym clad in black leather. The two categories in which she was nominated—Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media—eventually went to her Barbie comrade Billie Eilish.
