Overview
- Speaking with host Alex Cooper, Warren says his in-ears “cut out” moments before his Best New Artist medley slot at the Feb. 1 ceremony.
- The crew, he recounts, could not restore his monitors during the live countdown, forcing him to perform without hearing himself.
- During the broadcast at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, cameras followed him from a concession-area popcorn stand as he visibly struggled and removed an earpiece.
- Warren previously posted to Instagram a clip of the distorted, delayed feed he says played in his ears during the performance.
- Billboard and other outlets report that Warren still does not know the cause, and no official explanation from Grammys production has been cited.
