BTS performed at the 2022 Grammys in an incredible performance that left its mark on the ceremony. However, one moment in particular broke the internet that night thanks to V.
There was a surprise appearance by Olivia Rodrigo, where the idol leaned in to whisper something to her before pulling a card from behind her out of her hair and throwing it at Jungkook on stage.
In an interview with Weverse magazine, Taeyung recalls his preparations and feelings during the Grammy performance and his conversation with Olivia Rodrigo.
“I have been asked a lot about this. I was very nervous there because of the choreography of the dress.

Before the moment, I thought I could show it on my face or set the scene, and I thought I didn’t have anything special to say, so I didn’t say anything special.
Olivia Rodrigo also knew that this was what I was doing.
For a 10- or 15-second take, the performers don’t have to say anything special and they can still make it fun“, said V.

I continued, One, two, three, four, in my head”
“And it was hard to tell exactly what Olivia Rodrigo was saying since she had headphones in both ears at the time. Honestly, I was really nervous“, he finally says.
