Harry Styles’ Grammys performance went in the ‘wrong direction’

• A technical issue caused Harry Styles’ Grammys performance to go “wrong.”
• The pop star and his backup dancers allegedly performed in “reverse”.
• They attempted to “catch the attention of the technician”.

During the performance of “As It Was” at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday (05.02.23), the pop star and his backup dancers allegedly performed in “reverse” according to the former One Direction member’s dancers who claim the turntable stage started spinning the incorrect way.

Dancer Brandon Mathi explained on his Instagram Story: “The moment the curtain opened and it was time to perform, our turntable started spinning in reverse, backward.

“There was nothing we could do to stop it. So after a week of rehearsing this piece perfectly going one way, the moment it’s time to perform, it starts going the other way, and in real time we have to troubleshoot and do a complete piece in reverse.

“Talk about professionalism.”

Dexter Da Rocha, a different dancer, claimed in a since-deleted TikTok that they attempted to “catch the attention of the technician” at the Crypto.com Arena, but it proved challenging owing to the fact that it was live television.

He said: “So, to switch all those patterns on the spot, having not even walked in that direction… like it sounds it’d be easy to walk, it’s like a treadmill, but I swear to god, since it’s circular, it pulls you in different directions and it’s such a special type of balance.”
