H.E.R.'s Guitar-Shredding Grammy Performance Was A Hell Of A Debut

Who is H.E.R.? That was a question on several people's minds soon following the breakout R&B star obtained a windfall of Grammy nominations in December. Her efficiency at the awards show on Sunday night (February 10), though, answered it definitively: she is a musical force to be reckoned with whose name you're going to remember for a long, long time.


Taking center stage with a solitary spotlight on her, the 21-year-old rocked her signature dark shades and hit all of the marks while singing "Hard Place." Things kicked up a notch once she began shredding on a transparent electric guitar (she told MTV News on the red carpet that the musical instrument was designed even for her by Fender) and because the stage lights brightened, a full musical group along with a choir of singers emerged in back of her. Oh, and BTS were completely feeling it, too.


Prior to her efficiency, H.E.R. Was reported because the winner of Best R&B Efficiency for "Best Part," her sweet duet with Daniel Caesar. She's up for an added four awards on Sunday: Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Best R&B Song for "Focus," and Best R&B Album.


Surely, it's a star-making night for H.E.R., And to hear her tell it, it's practically serendipitous. The artist — who's MTV's Push: Artist to Watch for February — recently told us, "It feels like the opportunities are endless. It feels like, wow, I'm where I'm supposed to be. All my hard work is paying off. Everything I've dreamt about is here. My time is really now."
