It only took a few decades, but Joni Mitchell has finally performed at the Grammy Awards.
Just hours after winning her 10th Grammy, the folk-rock icon took the stage during Sunday night’s show alongside her dear friend and collaborator Brandi Carlile, who introduced the performance with an impassioned speech about how “timeless” Mitchell is. And because the Grammys love a posse performance, Mitchell was also flanked by a few other musical luminaries, including Jacob Collier, Sista Strings, Lucius, Allison Russell, and Blake Mills.
Together, the star-studded crew collaborated on a goosebumps-inducing rendition of Mitchell’s classic ballad “Both Sides Now.” Mitchell, looking resplendent, was seated front and center on the stage, smiling and holding a cane as she hit every note.
