There will be a 2023 Oscars performance by Rihanna

Rihanna is scheduled to perform "Lift Me Up" from Marvel's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" during the Oscars telecast on March 12, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Thursday. Rihanna is coming off of her record-breaking 2023 Super Bowl Halftime performance.

Rihanna, Tems, Ludwig Göransson, and the movie's director Ryan Coogler all contributed to the song "Raise Me Up." This year's Oscars have nominated the ballad for best original music, marking Rihanna's first-ever nomination.

The song "Hold My Hand," composed by Lady Gaga and BloodPop for "Top Gun: Maverick," is also up for best original music honors. "Tell It Like a Woman," "RRR," and "Everything Everywhere All at Once" are other movies with tracks nominated.

Rihanna has already had a successful year. The nine-time Grammy winner made the announcement about her second pregnancy with rapper A$AP Rocky earlier this month, following the Super Bowl, where she made her first public performance in seven years.

This year's "Wakanda Forever" received the first-ever acting nomination for a Marvel movie, garnering the star Angela Bassett five Oscar nominations. For her depiction of Tina Turner in the 1993 Turner biopic "What's Love Got to Do With It," Bassett received a previous acting nomination.

On Sunday, March 12 at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST, the Oscars will be broadcast live on ABC from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
