Harry Styles won big at this year's Grammys as he took home the awards for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for his record, "Harry's House." During the ceremony, the singer delivered a performance of his hit single "As It Was" but not everyone was aware that there was a major flaw that happened on stage.

According to Variety, the special performance was inspired by the official music video of the track which shows the former One Direction member and his backup performers dancing in a big revolving disc. A day after the ceremony, the dancers took to social media to reveal the set malfunction.

In a TikTok video, choreographer Dexter Da Rocha, who uses "they/them" pronouns, explained that there were 12 dancers on the platform and they rehearsed for more than a week in order to deliver the performance flawlessly by sliding down the turntable and running across each other.

They applauded Styles for his efforts as he "did such a good job integrating into it" while singing the song.

The revolving disc was supposed to spin counterclockwise and they rehearsed it several times without a problem, even during the dress rehearsal, hours before the show went live.

However, things got out of hand at the time of the broadcast when the turntable started spinning in the opposite direction.

Explaining how the dancers were able to pull off the performance despite the on-the-spot changes, Da Rocha added, "Since it's circular it pulls you in different directions and it's such a special type of balance so we got accustomed to one-way and it was the opposite way so luckily we worked together and did our best and got to one cool formation."

On the other hand, dancer Brandon Mathis also explained the dilemma on his Instagram account, sharing the same problems. He later shared pictures from the event and dedicated the post to artistic director, Yoann Bourgeois.

As of this writing, Harry Styles has yet to comment on the on-stage mishap that happened during his performance at the Grammy Awards.

In other updates, fans rejoiced after Liam Payne praised his good pal for his Grammy wins by sharing a photo of the pop star holding his award, saying he deserved every "millisecond of that moment."

On the other hand, Niall Horan also expressed similar feelings by sharing a photo of what appears to be the view of the Crypto.com Arena on his television while Styles was accepting the award, writing, "very proud @harrystyles" with a heart emoji.
