Skylar Grey’s Incredible Performance – In The Rain!
I was lucky enough to see the incredibly talented Singer/Songwriter Skylar Grey perform at Napa Valley’s Bottle Rock music festival in May.
Skylar performed her smash hit “Love the Way You Lie” – which was recorded by Eminem and Rihanna.
Grey wrote the song with Producer Alex da Kid when she felt she was in an abusive romantic relationship with the music industry. Eminem then wrote more lyrics, and Rihanna sang the chorus.
Here are some of the lyrics of “Love The Way You Lie”:
“Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie”
Here is Grey performing the song live at May’s Bottle Rock music festival in Napa Valley California…yes, it’s pouring rain, and Skyler references this at the end as she is literally freezing on stage:
An absolutely gorgeous performance – and as you heard, she was freezing on stage! Her husband brough her a jacket so she could finish the show.
I shared a previous story about Skylar’s performance at Bottle Rock – you can click here to see her live performance of her classic song “Coming Home”, and I have the story of how she wrote it for one Artist but it became a mega-hit for someone else!
Thanks for commenting – I knew nothing about her until she showed up on stage and was wowed with the wide variety of songs she’s written, across many unique styles!
She was really great – I didn’t realize all of the songs she had a part in writing, making her performance even better – and she did it while freezing in the rain! Thanks as always for commenting!
Sounds like a great performance, I never knew who wrote that song!

I didn’t think I’d like any version as much as the original, but she’s fantastic!

Pete, at the end she makes the comment about not being able to stop shivering…her husband had to bring her a coat, but she never stopped performing!
