Justin Bieber was the talk of the night at the Grammys after performing in his boxers and revealing a new tattoo of his wife Hailey’s face on Sunday
The Yukon singer, 31, ensured all eyes were on him as he took to the stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles to perform his single at the ceremony.
And his new inking didn’t fly under the radar, as viewers watching at home clocked the huge tattoo of his wife’s face on his back during the performance.
Many insisted that Justin’s drawing was inspired by Hailey’s 2020 Elle cover shoot, which showed her posing in a strapless top and swimwear on the beach.
And they were quick to draw comparison between the tattoo of Hailey and one he used to have of his ex Selena Gomez, which was also based on an Elle shoot.
The inking, which has since been covered up, was of Selena’s face on his wrist and is believed to have been sketched from an Elle magazine photo shoot in 2012.
The tattoo in question depicts the singer with a pair of large angel wings and long hair, sporting a plunging neckline similar to the outfit in the cover photo.
Justin and Selena ended their on-again, off-again relationship in March 2018, following a brief reconciliation that began in late 2017.
Justin admitted in the past that he had attempted to erase her likeness from his body, telling Billboard in 2016: ‘This is my ex-girlfriend so I tried to cover her face up with some shading but people still know.’
Justin was spotted with the tattoo still on his arm shortly before he was set to marry Hailey in 2018, however he has since had the tattoo covered.
Picking up on the similarities between the two tattoos, fans said: ‘There is no way Justin Bieber got a tattoo of Hailey Bieber’s Elle magazine… similarly to the one he got of Selena Gomez’s Elle cover’.
And: ‘Justin Bieber got a tattoo of his wife. It’s worth remembering that he previously had a tattoo of Selena Gomez, which he later covered up’;
Others said: ‘Justin Bieber tattooed Hailey’s face on his back’; ‘Justin got Hailey’s face tattooed omg’; ‘Justin Bieber debuts a new tattoo of Hailey and Jack’s face’; ‘Justin Bieber got Hailey’s face tattooed on his back, in 2020 he said he wanted to save his back for his kids, and he started with a pic of Hailey’;
‘Remember when Hailey told Justin she doesn’t want him to get any tattoo on his back and he said he was saving it for something important? Oh well he got Hailey f***ing Bieber’s face tattooed!’
Justin left many viewers perplexed after taking the Grammy Awards stage for the first time in four years – shirtless and wearing only gym shorts.
Just hours earlier, the couple had earlier walked the red carpet together wearing matching ‘ICE OUT’ pins.
Justin’s appearance marked his first Grammys performance since 2022, when he performed Peaches alongside Giveon and Daniel Caesar.
Since then, his onstage appearances have been rare, limited to a surprise guest spot during a SZA concert and a handful of private events following the cancellation of his tour due to health issues.
The performance served as a preview of what’s to come, with Justin set to headline both weekends of Coachella later this spring.
This year, the star is nominated for four awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Swag, Best Pop Solo Performance for Daisies, and Best R&B Performance for Yukon.
Across his career, Justin has earned 23 Grammy nominations and taken home two wins.
