Before Harry Styles took home the coveted Grammy for album of the year Sunday night, he took the stage alongside a team of backup dancers to perform his chart-topping “As It Was.”

The dance number, reminiscent of the song’s official music video, saw Styles and the dancers deliver elaborate moves atop a revolving turntable. On Monday, a couple of those dancers took to social media to address negative reactions to the performance, revealing that the stage rotated in the opposite direction than in their rehearsals.

“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,” said choreographer Dexter Da Rocha in a TikTok post.

“We were practicing with the turntable counterclockwise and we did it loads of times and got it down to the point where, in dress rehearsal yesterday, it was spotless.”

Unfortunately, when it was time to showcase the number on live television, the turntable started spinning the wrong way.

“To switch all of those patterns around on the spot [without] having even walked in that direction?… Since it’s circular it pulls you in different directions and it’s such a special type of balance so we got accustomed to one way and it was the opposite way so luckily we worked together and did our best and got to one cool formation.”

Impressively, the dancers were also able to pull off an elaborate segment where the camera shot from overhead to showcase the dancers forming one connected, moving line — which was all done backwards, as it turns out.

“Harry did his best to walk and reverse everything while he was singing and reverse his entire duet which is incredible,” Da Rocha said.

Another dancer named Brandon Mathis relayed similar details in his Instagram story. He also posted celebratory shots of the performance and, in a caption dedicated to artistic director Yoann Bourgeois, he wrote, “I am so grateful to you for your trust, your compassion, and your willingness to play and stay soft through it all. Even ridiculous technical difficulties that none of us could have prepared for.”

A documentary film about Louis Tomlinson, titled “All Of Those Voices,” is due to hit select theatres on March 22.

The doc is described as “a refreshingly raw and real look” at the former One Direction member’s life and musical career, according to its official news release. It will be directed by Charlie Lightening, who helmed Liam Gallagher’s “As It Was,” and produced in partnership with 78 Productions and Trafalgar Releasing.

“This has been something I’ve been working on for years, I’m really excited to finally put it out into the world,” said Tomlinson. “I’ve said it a million times but I’m lucky enough to have the greatest fans an artist could wish for, and as they always go above and beyond for me, I wanted to share my story ‘in my own words’.”

“All Of Those Voices” will consist of never-before-seen home footage recorded in the years leading up to Tomlinson’s 2022 tour and is said to offer “a unique perspective on what it’s like to be a musician in today’s fast-paced world.”

Tickets will go on sale at www.allofthosevoices.com at 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. GMT on Feb. 22. Participating theaters will also be revealed that same day.

“From the highs of superstardom to the lows of personal tragedy, Louis’ story is one of resilience and determination. The film explores his journey from a member of One Direction to a solo artist, capturing the challenges and triumphs that defined his path,” the announcement continued. “The film shows a side of Louis that fans have never seen before, as he grapples with the pressures of fame and the weight of his own voice.”

“We are excited to partner with Louis and his management team to bring his incredible story to cinemas worldwide,” said Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing. “Louis’ continued success beyond One Direction is inspiring, and clearly shows his global reach as an artist. We look forward to bringing his fans together to celebrate his life and work on the big screen this March.”
