Life is 'Grand' for the country singer after his first VMA performance!

Kane Brown brought country music to the 2022 Video Music Awards—and made history as the first male artist of the genre to do it!

Brown performed his brand new single, "Grand," which was also up for the Song of the Summer Award, live on the Toyota stage in Fort Lee, New Jersey on Sunday night. 

The crooner's show-stopping presentation was the very first performance of a male country artist on the award show since it launched back in 1984. The "One Thing Right" singer follows in Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift's footsteps, as they both have performed on the VMA stage in the past.

The 28-year-old's performance began with the singer appearing in the audience in front of a body of water as he walked through the crowd, making his way to the stage that was lit up in a glowing green box. The audience waved their hands in the air, showing off their green wristbands that flashed as they danced to his single, "Grand."

You can watch the performance below!

Brown is set to release his third studio album, Different Man on September 9, 2022. While talking with Billboard, he mentioned that he "took time with this album" and loves every song, adding that his wife said "it's her favorite album I've ever done."

While the country star did not go home with a Moon Person, he sure did seem to have the time of his life up there on the VMA stage!
