"It's a change that we hope to see for many years to come," Lipa told reporters backstage in 2019 when asked about the increase of female New Artist nominees, reports Time. "It only felt right to be able to do that because they're artists that I love and admire, and I was so honored to be able to share that moment with them." This year's Best New Artist field is made up mostly of women, with D Smoke and Kaytranda as the only male nominees. Megan Thee Stallion, Ingrid Andress, Phoebe Bridgers, Noah Cyrus, Chika, and Doja Cat were also nominated.

Lipa performed "Levitating" in a purple dress, with purple lights behind her as the only set dressing. DaBaby, who had just performed "Rockstar," came on to perform his verse after Lipa's introduction. Later, Lipa was joined by backup dancers as she danced in front of a moon that evoked the cover of Future Nostalgia.
