"BTS's big Grammy moment was long overdue": Rolling Stone explains the group's phenomenal performance

The K-pop sensation was definitely among the stars on music’s biggest night, the 2022 Grammy Awards, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 3.

The group showcased a phenomenal performance of its hitmaker Butter at the award ceremony and endless praise poured in from worldwide for their dynamic concept and exemplary talent.

Taking on the concept of a James Bond and Mission Impossible theme, each member was styled in a sleek tuxedo donned with sparkling embellishments.

Before the song began, the boys gave a mysterious spy-vibe entrance. Jungkook swooped down from the ceiling, whereas Jin sat in a control room set up on stage. RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope and V sat among other celebrities styled in classy spy outfits.

Soon after V threw a golden card at Jungkook, who impressively caught it, the group’s song Butter began to play and the members quickly danced their way to the stage.

The K-pop group’s electrifying dance break left the crowd speechless and their choreography became the most-talked performance of the night.

After delivering a mind-blowing performance, Rolling Stone, one of music’s most prominent magazines, ranked BTS’s hitmaker Butter #13 on its updated list of the '25 Greatest Performances of All Time'.

The magazine wrote:

“One night in Vegas: BTS took the stage with the swagger of a James Bond squad of super-spies in Rat Pack suits……But they were on fire with confidence and charisma. Bonus points for the way “Butter” began with V whispering in Olivia Rodrigo’s ear—whatever he told her, it looks like it must have been shocking."
