BTS rocked the audience with a secret-agent-themed performance of "Butter" [1] at Sunday night's Grammys. Putting on a full production, V, Suga, Jimin, Jungkook, RM, and J-Hope — minus Jin, who stayed seated [2] for most of the performance — danced their way through a laser security system like true spies on a mission. V took on the role of spy-movie protagonist and made sure to set the mood as soon as the stage lit up. Dressed in a sleek black suit, he dropped down from the ceiling on a rope before he strolled into the audience to flirt with Olivia Rodrigo [3].
As members of the band lounged alongside the screaming audience, the spotlight shined on them to create the illusion of a sexy film noir scene, with V sitting down beside Rodrigo and draping his arm on the table behind her seat. Rodrigo, smiling and blushing, listened as V whispered in her ear to the tune of some smooth jazz. She then watched as he unleashed his inner magician, pulling a small card out from behind her back. Turning on the charm, V showed Rodrigo the card before expertly flicking it on stage for J-Hope to catch with one hand. It's unclear what V whispered into Rodrigo's ear before he made the card appear, but it was definitely preplanned from the look on Rodrigo's face.
Following BTS's performance and Rodrigo's performance of "Drivers License," [4] the "Brutal" singer took home Grammys for best pop vocal album and best new artist.
