Just months after backing out of her scheduled GRAMMY appearance over her desire to perform “7 Rings,” Ariana Grande got the chance to perform her hit song at a major award show.

But the performance came with a twist — it was done remotely from her Sweetener world tour and brought to TV audiences via T-Mobile.

Grande performed the song onstage in Vancouver, BC, which was pre-recorded and then played for the BBMA audience and viewers. Introduced by model Ashley Graham, she was accompanied by her dancers, all dressed in pink streetwear.

The audience sang along with Grande as she performed, occasionally turning her mic to the crowd for emphasis.

Grande is up for a whopping 9 awards tonight, including top artist. She has already won Top Female Artist and the Billboard Chart Achievement Award.
