On March 14, BTS will perform at the 2021 Grammy Awards. The Korean band was nominated as Best Pop / Group Performance for their song “Dynamite”.
Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook are known for doing stellar performances like BTS. His performance at the 2021 Grammy will probably be no exception. To prepare for BTS’s next Grammy performance, here’s a look back at their best performances at award shows.
The stage of BTS ‘Mnet Asian Music Awards 2016 showed its growing stardom
At MAMA 2016, BTS presented “Blood Sweat & Tears” and “Fire”. The group released “Fire” in 2016 as a single with their compilation album, The most beautiful moment of life: forever young. “Blood Sweat & Tears” was the lead single on the 2016 album Wings.
At the beginning of the MAMA set, Jimin and J-Hope performed a synchronized dance of “Boy Meets Evil” blindfolded. Jin, Suga, RM, V and Jungkook joined them on stage for “Blood Sweat & Tears”.

At the end of “Blood Sweat & Tears,” V and Jin re-enacted a scene from the music video. This led to the vigorous performance of the K-pop group “Fire”.
MAMA 2016 not only proved BTS’s performance skills, but also foreshadowed his steady rise to become one of the best musical artists in the world.
BTS ‘2018 MAMA’ Fake Love ‘performance stands out
For anyone looking to convince their friends to become an ARMY, BTS’s “Fake Love” presentation at MAMA 2018 is a great place to start. The band released the song as a single with their album Love Yourself: Tear.
“Fake Love” has one of BTS’s most difficult choreographies to date, and for the awards season, the band added a break to dance during the song’s interlude, making it even more challenging.
As they move through the intricate dance films, it is clear that Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook’s microphones are on. The puppet-themed dance break at the end of the song consolidates the performance as one of BTS’s best.
The band’s performance at the 2019 Melon Music Awards is in its own league
BTS’s performance in MMA 2019 is still the performance to beat. In 2019, the band was snubbed by the Recording Academy and received zero nominations for their EP Soul Map: Persona.
In MMA 2019, BTS essentially proved that it was out of the Grammy Awards league with its performance. In a set of almost 40 minutes in length, the septet performed “Intro: Persona”, “Boy in Luv”, “Boy With Luv”, “Mikrokosmos” and “Dionysus”.
The MMA performance took fans back to the band’s discography and showed each member’s talent and presentation style. The performance of stopping the show of the “Dionysus” septet closed the set, and demonstrated that the only act that can overcome BTS is BTS.
BTS’s 2021 Grammy Award presentation will air on CBS on March 14 at 8:00 pm Eastern time.
