It's been nearly two decades since the music icon performed on the Grammy stage for the first time. At the time, she was one third of Destiny's Child and it was 2001. Clad in coordinating blue costumes, the trio of budding stars performed a medley of their recent hits, "Independent Women" and "Say My Name." All these years later, she's nominated once again for "Best Rap/Sung Performance" for her collaboration with husband Jay Z on his track, "Family Feud."
It hasn't been a long time since the 21-year-old hit the Grammy stage to perform for the first time. Just four years ago, this year's Album of the Year nominee was a first-time nominee when she performed her chart-topping hit, "Royals," in 2014.
In 2011, this year's six-time nominee was celebrating his first round of Grammy nominations and serenaded the crowd for the first time with a big band rendition of "Nothin' on You" and "Grenade."
Back in 2010, the six-time Grammy winner took home her first Grammy statue for The Fame and got the chance to entertain the crowd and her devoted Little Monsters watching from home with an unforgettable performance at the piano with Elton John. Nearly a decade later, she's slated to take the stage once again at this year's show.
In 2006, the American Idol champion and "Love So Soft" nominee gave an emotional performance of "Because of You" and went home with her first two Grammy statues.
For his first year nominated at the Grammy Awards, the "Shape of You" nominee shared the stage with legend Elton John for a duet of the nominated Song of the Year, "The A Team."
For the first nomination of her career, the "What About Us" nominee hit the stage for an unforgettable performance of "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Mýa back in 2002.
