Confirmed: Rihanna To Perform ‘Lift Me Up’ at 2023 Academy Awards

Published: Thursday 23rd Feb 2023 by Rashad

Just weeks after being lifted into history books thanks to her top-rated Super Bowl halftime show, ‘Diamonds‘ diva Rihanna will be shining her megawatt talent on the Academy Awards stage.

Details inside.

Taking to press Thursday (February 23), ABC hushed weeks of speculation by confirming the 9-time GRAMMY winner will be performing her ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack hit, ‘Lift Me Up,’ at the Academy Awards on March 12.

Written by Rih alongside Tems, Ludwig Goransson, and the ‘Panther’ director Ryan Coogler, ‘Lift’ is nominated for Best Original Song at this year’s ceremony and is set to face off against ‘Applause‘ (Diane Warren), ‘Hold My Hand‘ (Lady Gaga), ‘Naatu Naatu’ (M.M. Keeravani & Chandrabose), and ‘This is Life’ (Ryan Lott, David Byrne, & Mitski).

The nod comes as a career first for the 35-year-old Bajan songstress.

Hosted live at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, famed comedian-talk show host Jimmy Kimmel will serve as the event’s host. Click here to see the full list of nominees.

    🐝 BE ALIVE is the most UNDERRATED song I’ve ever heard. It didn’t win the Oscar so I’m sure FLOP me up won’t be winning it either lol 😆 😅 😂 🤣

    BE ALIVE = EPIC 🐝
    LIFT ME UP = EPIC FAIL 🐝

    • PraiseHisName February 23, 2023

      Be Alive is a flop song that never charted.

      Lift Me Up is not Rihanna’s strongest, but it peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

      Beyonce worships the Devil and has Satan in her heart, that’s why God will strike her down in her prime. Blue Ivy could be the anti-Christ. I hope she isn’t, but she’s not human….

      • Are You Kidding Me? February 23, 2023

        You’re weird. Rihanna is literally under Roc Nation, which is kinda run by Beyonce’s husband. So if Beyonce worships the devil, so does Rihanna. You weird Illuminati people are annoying.

      • yup! February 23, 2023

        They both stan Satan. Both songs are trash btw.

      • Cuff It (Wetter Remix) February 23, 2023

        Peaked at #2 then fell off the charts a week later. Embarrassing!

      • 👑RIHANNA February 24, 2023
