Grammys 2015: Kayne West, Rihanna, Paul McCartney's 'FourFiveSeconds' Performance Brings Audience To Its Feet
After a series of jaw-dropping multi-generational match-ups during Grammy night 2015, it took an acoustic performance from Paul McCartney, Rihanna and Kanye Wes
t to bring the audience to their feet.
The trio debuted for the first time, a live and surprisingly pared-down performance of their surprise smash hit "FourFiveSeconds." The three, clad in various black outfits, took the stage with little accompaniment and sang a passionate performance of the popular tune, which recently debuted on the Billboard charts at No. 54.
While McCartney strummed a guitar confidently in the background and provided supporting vocals, the song was clearly a vehicle for Rihanna, who delivered an inspiring and moving performance.
West also performed well, changing the lyrics to the song ever so slightly in deference to the music legend.
The Grammy-winning rapper tweaked the words of the line after "if he ever goes to jail" that "Paul! Promise you'll pay my bail!" The Beatles superstar nodded happily in agreement.
Much has been made of this unique collaboration of West and McCartney. West has produced Rihanna's upcoming album and on the red carpet, the singer revealed to Ryan Seacrest that Rihanna heard this song and wanted it on her album.
