Chris Brown Will Perform at the Grammy Awards

If this is true, it’ll be Chris Brown’s first return to the Grammy Awards after he was arrested for assaulting Rihanna at a pre-Grammy party in February of 2009.

I guess they figured if she can start dating him again, they might as well put him back onstage.

It’s not been officially announced, but the Associated Press has reported that “unnamed sources” confirmed that the singer will be one of the performers to take the stage at Sunday’s Grammy Awards Show.

In 2009, both Rihanna and Chris Brown were scheduled to perform, but both canceled their performances. Brown has been nominated for Grammy Awards since then, but hasn’t been invited back. This year, the singer is up for three Grammys, including Best R&B Album for his 2011 release, F.A.M.E., as well as Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for his track "Look at Me Now," which also features Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.

And yes, Rihanna is also scheduled to be there on Sunday. So prepare for many, many reaction shots during Chris’ performance. You thought there were a lot of Brangelina reaction shots during Aniston’s 2009 Oscar presentation? These reaction shots are gonna blow those out of the water. Rihanna is also set to perform, along with Coldplay. She’s up for a bunch of her own awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Loud.

Adele, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, and Nicki Minaj are also confirmed to perform live at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards show.
