Throughout the performance, smoke drifted across the stage as her backdrop of vertical blue lights switched to pink, back to blue and then to a lighter teal color. Grande also swapped out her silver and white red-carpet dress for a sleek black number.

The piano-heavy track off of her second album, My Everything, was co-written by One Direction’s Harry Styles and showcases the pint-sized pop star’s vocal abilities by way of some spectacularly high notes. The stripped-down performance also highlighted Grande’s vocal skills.

A first-time Grammy contender this year, Grande went into Sunday night’s show nominated for two awards, best pop vocal album (My Everything) and best pop duo/group performance for “Bang Bang,” her collaboration with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj.
