Dan + Shay always pour out their hearts and souls into every live performance whether they are on tour, guests on a talk show, in the lineup at an award show, or invited to a special event. The duo's appearance at the 2021 iHeart Radio Music Awards in Los Angeles to sing their single "Glad You Exist" was no exception. In fact, this opportunity on May 27th of that year was extra exciting and special for the duo because it was their first performance in front of a live audience (with everyone masked minus the artists) since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Performing on a springtime-feeling stage that included cherry blossom trees, the duo's apparel matched that vibe. Dan Smyers wore a dark lightweight long flowing overcoat featuring some red flowers over a black t-shirt while Shay Mooney sported an open button-down shirt over a white t-shirt. Both guys wore black pants.
With his beautiful vocals, Mooney told the story of "Glad You Exist" about being grateful for your family and friends, while Smyers backed him up with his exquisite harmonies. He (Smyers) started the performance on guitar, then engaged with the crowd playing no instrument, and ended the song sitting, playing the piano. Their road band also accompanied the guys in the background. The duo had the crowd on their feet dancing and clapping along the entire time.
