Fantasia Performs Unforgettable Tina Turner Tribute at 2024 Grammys — Watch ‘Proud Mary’ Performance

The Grammys paid tribute to the “goddess of rock ‘n’ roll” on Sunday with a high-energy performance of Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.” And who better to bring this timeless tune to the stage than Fantasia Barrino?

Introduced by Oprah Winfrey, the American Idol winner (never forget!) appeared on stage in a sparkly gold dress with shoulder pads for days. And while she gave this iconic jam the build-up it deserved, it wasn’t long before she had everyone at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on their feet.
