Rihanna to perform at the Oscars

The music superstar is scheduled to perform "Lift Me Up" during the biggest night in Hollywood - the Oscars. The song was featured on the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" soundtrack. 

It has been nominated for best original song, marking Rihanna's first Oscar nod. 

The 95th Academy Awards ceremony will be broadcast on March 12 and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. 

Earlier this month, Rihanna dazzled Super Bowl viewers with a soaring, solo half-time show, in which she publicly revealed her second pregnancy with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky. 

In the last few years, Rihanna has taken a break from music to focus on her business ventures, like her Fenty Beauty make-up brand. 

Lift Me Up marks the first solo song Rihanna has recorded since her last album, ANTI, which was released in 2016. 

With a performance at the Oscars, Rihanna joins the likes of Beyonce and Lady Gaga, as musical guests on the Academy Award stage in recent years. 

Her song, Lift Me Up, will compete for the best original song title against Lady Gaga, who is up for her fourth-ever nomination for Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick.
