She presented two awards, with the first being Best Song for Social Change – the first time an award has been given for that category.
“A song can unite, inspire, and ultimately change the world,” she said, addressing the crowd.
The award went to Iran-based singer, Shervin Hajipour, for his song Baraye.
Her appearance sent social media users into a frenzy, wondering why she was there in the first place.
“JILL BIDEN IS HERE?” wrote one person, with a bunch of confused emojis.
“Why is Jill Biden at the Grammys? Girl if you don’t go somewhere and help lower the price of eggs lol,” wrote another person.
“Jill…Biden????”
However, the second award she presented was for Song of The Year, one of the night’s top prizes.
“As a teacher of writing I am honored to present the Grammy Award for Song of the Year,” she said, commending the “extraordinary nominees.”
Some of the nominees included Lizzo, Harry Styles, Beyoncé, and Adele.

But when Biden read the envelope, the coveted award went to Bonnie Raitt for her song, Just Like That.
The win caused another firestorm, this time with users reacting to Raitt’s win over the other artists.
Several users shared viral clips over their confusion about who the artist was.
“And the Grammy for Song of the Year goes to Bonnie Raitt!” wrote one person followed by an often-used meme of rapper Snoop Dogg yelling “WHO?”
Another person wrote: “The Grammys be inventing people just to snub Beyoncé. Now who in the hell is Bonnie Raitt?”
However, many were quick to come to Raitt’s defense, mentioning her decades-long career and the fact that she is a multi-time Grammy winner in her own right.
“BONNIE RAITT IS A LEGEND AND ICON PUT SOME RESPECT ON HER NAME,” wrote one fan.
“Bonnie Raitt slander will never be permitted on my timeline,” wrote another.
Others make jokes about Raitt’s shocked reaction when she found out she won.
“Even Bonnie can’t believe it.”
This is Raitt’s 14th Grammy Award after receiving her first nomination in 1980.
She had her first win in 1990, where she took home the Album of the Year award for Nick of Time, and both the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Traditional Blues Recording.
