The Weeknd Gets Kinky at the Oscars with 'Earned It' Performance
The Weeknd took his best-selling R&B to the 88th Academy Awards on Sunday night (Feb. 28) to perform "Earned It," his Top 10 anthem from Fifty Shades of Grey, and invoked the overt sexuality in the process.
During the Oscars performance, The Weeknd was surrounded by a string ensemble as well as aerialists who made viewers reminisce about Fifty Shades' infamous Red Room. The Weeknd, as always, was as classy as ever, belting out the hit in a slick tuxedo and letting the dancers writhe around him.
