BTS's V becomes the 'Main Character' of the 2022 Grammys for his red carpet fashion, "Butter" performance, and celeb interactions

Living up to his reputation as the 'Stan Attractor' of BTS, Kim Taehyung became the 'Main Character' of the 2022 GRAMMYs after he effortlessly won hearts and charmed both the audience and celebrities at the venue. 

Despite his first name being muted by Twitter since 2020 due to his overwhelming popularity, his full name, which is not used by the majority, trended the highest worldwide among all artists attending the GRAMMYs as he became the main topic of discussion. His searches in Google also peaked right after he stepped onto the red carpet.

Upon arrival at the red carpet, Taehyung instantly stood for his unique outfit. V went all out and was the only member wearing a large eye-catching floral pin on his Louis Vuitton tan suit.

This comes as no surprise as Lady Gaga has done several Jazz albums with Tony Bennett, and Taehyung is a huge Jazz fan himself, as Entertainment Tonight pointed out.

He later revealed on Vlive that he was deeply moved by Lady Gaga's performance and was a little nervous to approach her. Thankfully he didn't let his uncertainty hold him back, and their wholesome interaction melted hearts. 

[TRANS] 🐻 : Ah.... Seriously I watched that video of Lady Gaga and Tony so many times.
🐨: That's your style

🐿: Oh that's right, at that time, you wanted to check the timing with Lady Gaga

🐻: I'm such a big fan, and I wanted to take a photo, but whenever I got the courage, I felt like it could be rude...
