Harry Styles had a major night at the 2023 Grammys on Feb. 5, taking home two Grammys - including album of the year - for his 2022 album "Harry's House." But one less than picture-perfect moment was his performance of his hit single "As It Was," and now some of the people involved with the performance are speaking out about a major technical difficulty they experienced. Styles's live rendition of the song mimicked the music video for the track, with him and a group of dancers performing on a turntable. However, choreographer Dexter Da Rocha said in a since-deleted TikTok video that when the performance began, the turntable began spinning in the wrong direction.
"12 of us were on the turntable and we rehearsed for 10 days getting down these beautiful formations and sliding off the turntable . . . and Harry did such a good job integrating into it and had a beautiful duet," Da Rocha said in the video posted Feb.

“The curtain opened and it was time to perform,” he began.
“Our turntable started spinning in reverse, backward, freaking all of us out on live television and there was nothing we could do to stop it.
