Joni Mitchell Makes Grammys Performance Debut With Stunning, Emotional ‘Both Sides Now’


Joni Mitchell made her Grammys performance debut on Sunday with a rendition of 'Both Sides Now.'

“Both Sides Now” is a poignant choice for the singer, as it was released off her second album Clouds, which won Mitchell the award for Best Folk Performance back in 1969 (Judy Collins had previously scored a hit with the song in 1968). Speaking to the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast last week, executive producer Raj Kapoor alluded that Mitchell would perform the Clouds classic. Mitchell’s momentous evening is the latest in what’s been a career resurgence for the 80-year-old, which largely began in 2019 when she made her first public appearance(at the premiere of Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous musical) after nearly dying from a brain aneurysm in 2015.
