Chlöe [1] took to the stage at the BET Awards [2] on June 26 to perform her new song, "Surprise [3]," before launching into a short rendition of Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me," and finishing with her hit "Treat Me [4]." Chloe wore a shiny leather coat, which she removed to reveal a glittering bodysuit, and at one point, she danced around a blindfolded man seated in the center of the stage. The sultry performance showcased Chlöe's talent for spectacle and undeniable star power.

The 23-year-old actor and musician was nominated for best R&B/pop artist at this year's BET Awards. She was also nominated for video of the year for her "Have Mercy" video [5]. That song also earned Chloë a nomination for the BET Her Award. And if that wasn't exciting enough, she and her sister, Halle Bailey [6], were nominated for best group. Halle was in the audience at the ceremony and tweeted a shoutout to her sister after the performance.

Chlöe rose to fame with her and her sister's successful duo, Chloe x Halle. Their second studio album, "Ungodly Hour," was released in 2020 to widespread acclaim. In 2021, the duo decided to start pursuing solo ventures. Halle had been cast [8] as Ariel in a live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid," and Chlöe began her solo music career. Her debut single as a solo artist, "Have Mercy," was released on Sept. 10, 2021, along with a Medusa-themed music video that was followed by the singles "Treat Me" and "Surprise."
