Olivia Rodrigo showed off her stunning vocals on a blood-soaked stage for her 2024 Grammys performance of “vampire” from her newest album, GUTS.
The artist kicked off the performance simply standing on the stage with a mic as she began her rendition, but over the course of the song, she began to have blood on her face. By the end of the performance, the blue backdrop transformed into one with blood dripping down it.
The singer-songwriter returned to the 2024 Grammys with nominations for record of the year, song of the year and best pop solo performance for “Vampire,” as well as album of the year and best pop vocal album for GUTS.
