The Weeknd just dominated his performance of "Earned It" at the Oscars 2016 on Sunday.

After being introduced by Kevin Hart, the 26-year-old took the stage at the 88th Annual Academy Awards to perform his Oscar-nominated song that was featured in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey.

Keeping with the theme of the movie, The Weeknd made his performance seriously sexy. While singing, The Weekend was surrounded by scantily clad dancers and one incredible trapeze artist who pulled off some amazing moves.

For The Weeknd's performance, Swarovski created a custom stage with Tony Award-winning production designer, Derek McLane. The production design team wanted to make the music video come to life and included 10 custom designed torcheries with eight different cuts of crystal made with 10,816 Swarovski crystals that really made the stage sparkle!

"Earned It" is nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars, making this The Weeknd's first Academy Awards nomination.
