Los van het uitreiken van de Grammys werd het programma ook live uitgezonden op de Amerikaanse TV. Het grootste evenement van het jaar in de VS ging van start met een overdonderend optreden van U2. De groep speelde hun nieuwste single "Get On Your Boots".
Verder waren er optredens van Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Boyz II Men en Keith Urban. Het optreden van Coldplay startte met een indrukwekkend optreden dat begon met Chris Martin op de piano met een bijzonder fraaie uitvoering van "Lost."
Verder waren er o.a. optredens van Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, the Jonas Brothers samen met Stevie Wonder, Kanye West, M.I.A. samen met o.a. T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne.
Verder was er een verrassend optreden van sir Paul McCartney, die de Beatles-klassieker "I Saw Her Standing There" speelde samen met Foo Fighter Dave Grohl.
Radiohead trad voor het eerst in 9 jaar weer op voor de Amerikaanse TV samen met the USC Marching Band en zorgden ook voor een enorm enthousiasme met hun optreden.
Een optreden van de grote winnaars van de avond ontbrak niet. Robert Plant en Alison Krauss betraden het podium samen met producer T Bone Burnett en speelden "Rich Woman", gevolgd door "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)",
Stevie Wonder sloot de avond af met het fraaie "All About The Love Again", inhakend op de veranderingen die men verwacht met de komst van President Obama.
