Grammy nominees James Bay and Tori Kelly performed a mashup of their songs at the big show on Monday (Feb. 15) night. Their duet included Bay's "Let It Go" and Kelly's "Hollow." They were introduced to the stage by actress Anna Kendrick.
Bay and Kelly faced each other on the round stage with just guitars and standing microphones as they performed their buzz worthy tracks. During her walk on the red carpet, Kelly promised CBS that their mashup would be "stripped down" and "organic,“ which is was. Both singers showed off their powerhouse vocals.
Bay sang his tune "Let It Go" first, as Kelly backed him up. Kelly then took her turn with "Hollow," which Bay assisted with.
"Both of us are really comfortable with just our guitars so we kind of got together and I've been a huge fan of his, so it was like easy for me to hit him up," Kelly said of the collaboration prior to the performance.
Both Bay and Kelly were nominated for best new artist at the Grammys this year. Bay was also nominated for best rock album for Chaos And The Calm and best rock song for "Hold Back The River" with Iain Archer.
The California songstress spoke highly of the strides she's made this year and looked at the ceremony as a celebration of sorts.
"This whole last year has just been insane for me like so many dreams coming true, and I think just being here today feels like a celebration of all that and it's a big deal," Kelly said.
