Lost in the moment! Paul McCartney jumps out of his seat to dance at Grammys before awkwardly spotting he's on camera

A little toe-tapping just doesn't quite cut it sometimes.

And Paul McCartney got swept up in a groove on Sunday while part of the audience at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.

The 72-year-old rocker couldn't help himself and jumped out of his seat to swing and clap to ELO and Ed Sheeran's performance of Evil Woman.

While not everybody in the audience could appreciate the seventies Brit rock band - Paul was clearly a big fan and happily sang along - completely obvious to the camera's gaze.

It took him a few moments before he noticed his lonesome dance was being watched and awkwardly gestured with his hands before sheepishly sitting back down.

But the crooner was having such a good time he had a little giggle as he sat back alongside his wife Nancy Shevell.

Paul - an 18-time Grammy Award winner himself - later jumped on stage to perform with Rihanna and Kanye West on her track FourFiveSeconds.

Beyonce, Sam Smith and Pharrell are the Grammy leaders with six nominations apiece.

'Throughout the years, the Grammy Awards has paired musical icons with new, upcoming artists to give fans remarkable performances that can only be seen on our stage,' Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow said in a statement.

'This year is no different and, once again, promises to bring together unique musical worlds in innovative ways that blend genres and create new artistic boundaries.'

Meanwhile the Beatles legend is set to collaborate with Lady Gaga. 

On Tuesday the Just Dance hit maker shared a group shot of herself, Paul and some musicians as she captioned: 'Had a beautiful session with Sir Paul McCartney and friends.' 

'Working on one of his many secret projects! Killer musicians, vibe, and lots of laughs,' she added.
