For his first run at the stage, West welcomed Lil Pump to perform a safe-for-TV edit of their smash "I Love It," altering the hook to the comparatively harmless "You're such a freaky girl," while wobbling around in Perrier and Fiji water bottle costumes. West's second go was dressed-down and minimalist considering the precursory performance. Teyana Taylor stormed and conquered the moment with West, backs to a bear stage as they revived "We Got Love," the Keep That Same Energy outtake that got left on the cutting room floor due to issues clearing a voice memo with Ms. Lauryn Hill.

For his finale, West opted for an all-star blowout. The curtain call featured a performance of the KIDS SEE GHOSTS anthem "Ghost Town" backed by the iconic house band, along with Kid Cudi, 070 Shake, Ty Dolla $ign, Mike Dean, and the damned MAGA hat. Really sticking to his "positively-charged" guns here.
