Last night (Feb. 28), The Weeknd took the stage at the 88th Annual Academy Awards to perform his hit “Earned It”, his contribution to the Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack nominated for Best Original Song.
Usually, a Weeknd performance is in-your-face and flanked with fire, but last night, the Canadian star turned it down a notch for the performance of the soulful single.
Wearing a suit and bowtie, the singer stood under grand chandeliers and was surrounded by and dancers, gymnasts, trapeze artists and a large string section.
In case you missed it (with the lowest ratings in eight years, I’m sure many of you did), check out the Weeknd’s classy performance below.
