Post Malone Goes Dark With 'Hollywood's Bleeding' At 2021 Grammy Awards

Post Malone took over the 2021 Grammys with a dark performance of his hit "Hollywood's Bleeding."

The rapper put on a wicked presentation during the awards show with a gothic-themed performance of the title track that appears on his third studio, Hollywood's Bleeding. Posty took center stage, wearing a black trenchcoat, as he belted out the song on a heavily-shadowed stage design, all while joined by ominous religious figures.

"I just keep on hopin' that you call me / You say you wanna see me, but you can't right now / You never took the time to get to know me / Was scared of losin' somethin' that we never found / We're running out of reasons, but we can't let go / Yeah, Hollywood is bleeding, but we call it home," Posty crooned as the stage came alive with colorful flashing lights.

This year, the recording artist is competing for some of the night's biggest awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year ("Circles"). It's a pretty big deal for the 25-year-old, who is certainly no stranger to garnering Grammy nods.

In total, Posty has received nine nominations over the course of his career. In 2019, he received four Grammy nominations, including for Album of the Year and Record of the Year. He also garnered two nominations at the 2020 Grammys for his smash hit "Sunflower" featuring Swae Lee.
