The Weeknd Returns To The Grammys After Boycott

Tonight on the 2025 Grammys fans were shocked to hear that The Weeknd was going to perform. Host Trevor Noah explained that this was something a lot of people thought would never happen.
The Weeknd’s Big Return
Tonight on the Grammys it was The Weeknd performing once again. Some artists were vocal about The Academy and The Weeknd was one who called them out. It was revealed that they have changed and listened to make it where people like him will come back once again. They have more women, more people of color and have 13,000 voting members in The Academy. There is still more work to be done, but this was a big start.
What they did, was they were able to get The Weeknd to come back once again and perform. He is a four-time Grammy winner and it was great to see him on the stage again. He even got a standing ovation from several people including Taylor Swift.

Why Did He Boycott The Grammys?
The Weeknd originally boycotted the Grammys back in 2021. He called them “corrupt” when he didn’t get any nominations that year. He went on to say, “The trust has been broken for so long between the Grammy organisation and artists that it would be unwise to raise a victory flag.” Later he explained, “I remain uninterested in being a part of the Grammys, especially with their own admission of corruption for all these decades. I will not be submitting [my music] in the future.”
Drake was on his side at the time saying, “I think we should stop allowing ourselves to be shocked every year by the disconnect between impactful music and these awards.”
