Bad Bunny is the opening act for this year's Grammys.

The Puerto Rican artist strutted to the stage with a colorful backdrop of performers.

He performed “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa." Both tracks are from his Spanish-language album, “Un Verano Sin Ti,” which has already made Grammys history.

The artist, who scored three nominations, earned the award show's first album of the year nomination for a project completely in Spanish.

Harry Styles sparkles in a technicolor suit

Harry Styles eschewed formalwear in favor of a sparkling technicolor jumpsuit on the Grammys red carpet.

The outfit, by EgonLab, was adorned with Swarovski crystals and revealed a collection of butterfly and bird tattoos on his otherwise bare chest. The look divided social media, with comments ranging from “he can literally wear anything” to “looks like he forgot the jacket.”

Styles, who picked up six nominations, is one of fashion’s most daring dressers. In recent years, he has traded a once preppy style for more experimental and gender-fluid takes — including the Gucci jacket and dress he famously wore on the cover of American Vogue.

“You can never be overdressed. There’s no such thing,” he told the publication at the time, adding: “Now I’ll put on something that feels really flamboyant, and I don’t feel crazy wearing it. I think if you get something that you feel amazing in, it’s like a superhero outfit.”

At the 2021 Grammys, Styles wore not one, but three, feather boas as he made several outfit changes through the evening. Fashion-watchers will no doubt look forward to seeing what he’ll wear next, as he prepares to take the stage for a performance at tonight’s ceremony.

Styles is nominated for six Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for his album "Harry's House."

Fashion-watchers have come to expect risqué looks at the Grammys, and stars are already vying for “iconic” status with dramatic silhouettes and loud color choices.

“Unholy” duo Kim Petras and Sam Smith showed up in bold red ensembles, the latter completing his outfit with a matching top hat and cane.

Elsewhere, Lizzo made an early statement in a flowy, tangerine-colored cape by Dolce & Gabana and Shania Twain paired bright crimson locks with a polka-dotted two-piece by designer Harris Reed.

Smokey Robinson explains his "Gasms" title for new album

From CNN's Lisa Respers France

Smokey Robinson was trying to break the internet last week with the announcement of his new album "Gasms."

During an interview for "E!" with LaVerne Cox on the Grammys red carpet, the 82-year-old legend said he was trying to stir up some controversy. He did just that with the provocative album title, and songs like "I Wanna Know Your Body," "I Fit In There" and "You Fill Me Up."

"When you say 'Gasms," people think 'orgasms,' but 'gasms' can mean anything that makes you feel good," the iconic singer said as he held his wife of more than 20 years, Frances Glandney.

Where there's Smokey, there's fire!

Taylor Swift arrived to the red carpet in a midnight blue dress by Roberto Cavalli.

It's a fitting look for the star's latest album, "Midnights," which was not nominated.

But that doesn't mean Swift, a staple at the award show in recent years, isn't going without recognition tonight. Her “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (The Short Film)" is nominated for Song of the Year and "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)" is nominated for Best Country Song.

Bad Bunny’s album “Un Verano Sin Ti” has made Grammys history before the award show even begins.

The artist, who has scored three nominations for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, has become the first to score an album of the year nomination for a project completely in the Spanish language.

“Un Verano Sin Ti,” which translates to “A Summer Without You,” is also the first album to receive an album of the year nomination at both the Grammys and the Latin Grammys.

In addition to his album of the year nod, Bad Bunny scored nominations in the best pop solo performance and best música urbana album categories.

The Puerto Rican artist has previously been nominated for six Grammys and won two of them. Last year, he won for best música urbana album for “El Último Tour Del Mundo,” and in 2020, he won best latin pop or urban album for his second solo studio album, “YHLQMDLG.”
