Alex Warren finally speaks about his Grammy performance 'mishap'

Alex Warren has finally addressed the problem that occurred during his live Grammy performance.

The 25-year-old was among the several best new artist nominees to perform a live medley at the 2026 Grammys.

During the show, Alex experienced a technical issue that threw off his performance of Billboard Hot 100 chart topper, Ordinary.

While calling the experience as horrifying the American singer added, “We had rehearsed it all week … it was perfect. To this day I don’t know exactly what happened.”

“They’re like, ’30 seconds.’ I said, ‘I can’t hear anything, I can’t hear myself”, said Warren while speaking with Alex Cooper in Call Her Daddy podcast.

The Chasing Shadows singer shared that everything cut out from his in-ear monitors and he was told, “It’s live TV. Twenty-five seconds.’ I go, ‘Guys, something’s wrong.'”

In that moment, Alex thought that it was meant to happen and he will have to perform that way.

“In my head, I look up at the sky, and I go, ‘This is meant to happen,'” he says. “And I just go, ‘Let’s do it”, he opened.

Warren was supposed to perform in between fellow nominees namely Lola Young and Leon Thomas.
