Joni Mitchell’s performance was one of the most anticipated, in what was the 66th edition of the Grammy Awards, the biggest awards in the music industry.

In addition to being the first time she performed at the ceremony, after more than 60 years of career, the performance also marked the singer’s return to the stage after a brain aneurysm, which, for the last decade, kept her away from music.
