Sussman also teased several other performances during Sunday’s broadcast, sharing his excitement for artists to be able to connect with fans amid a “tough year.”
“We wanted to do it right for the artists. It’s been a tough year. This is a moment in time for these artists to get out on stage and connect with fans who have been starving for these kinds of moments,” he said. “We have a wonderful group of diverse musical talent — some of the best live performers on the planet.
He added that viewers can also look forward to a high-energy performance from BTS.
“It will be what you really love and want to see BTS do,” he said. “They’re going to have fun and engage the audience at home. They’ll get you up on your feet in your living room.”
“For the viewer at home, this isn’t going to be a remote Zoom telecast,” Sussman continued. “You’re going to be as entertained as if you were watching it at the Staples with 14,000 other fans.”
