Harry Styles brought the house down thanks to his opening performance at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

The pop star and actor kick-started the show by playing his hit song “Watermelon Sugar” alongside The Black Pumas and Haim at the beginning of the performance, as they were all introduced by host Trevor Noah.

Harry lived up to his last name thanks to his incredible outfit. He rocked a green boa with an all leather suit outfit that we're definitely going to be obsessed with. Of course, it wouldn't have been a Harry Styles performance without a full band including a horn section to back him up and bringing it all to the next level.

Billie Eilish was also there and rocking out to his performance before she took the stage.

Jack Sussman, CBS' executive VP of specials, music and live events, told Variety earlier this week that Harry would be the one starting off the award show. "It’s going to be music coming at you heavy and hard like you’ve not seen it before. We’ve got Harry Styles, this incredible entertainer, at the top of the show and we’ll just keep coming at you."

It's a big night for Harry as he is nominated for three awards tonight including Best Pop Vocal Album for his His second album, Fine Line. His hit track, "Watermelon Sugar" is nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance. Meanwhile, his other single, "Adore You," lost earlier to Beyoncé's "Black Skin Girl" during the Grammys Premiere ceremony for Best Music Video.

This is Harry’s big return to the stage after having to postpone his Love On Tour due to the coronavirus pandemic. He’s also continuing his acting career thanks to his upcoming role in Don’t Worry Darling, which is also directed by his current GF Olivia Wilde.

With a performance like that, we're crossing our fingers that we'll see him in concert again soon!
