Rihanna, Bryson Tiller, and DJ Khaled stole the show at the Grammys with their sexy performance of 'Wild Thoughts'.

She took to the stage with DJ Khaled to perform their hit single, 'Wild Thoughts' - which made it to number one on the Coca-Cola Top 40.
Bryson Tiller, who features on the hit single, also made an appearance.

While Rihanna is no stranger to the Grammys stage, it was DJ Khaled and Bryson's first time performing at the prestigious awards ceremony.
"They said I would never perform at the Grammys. They played themselves," DJ Khaled said onstage.
Bryson was equally excited about the performance.
"Blessed to have these two right here. thank you for one of the best days of my life. wilddddddd night at the GRAMMY’s," he tweeted.
The trio brought the house down, and caused a major storm on Twitter.
