Rihanna to perform Oscar-nominated "Lift Me Up" at 2023 Academy Awards
CBSN
Rihanna will perform "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Thursday. This will be the Grammy Award-winning pop star's first time performing at the Oscars.
"Lift Me Up" was nominated for Best Original Song — marking another first for the pop star. "Wakanda Forever" director Ryan Coogler, composer Ludwig Göransson and Nigerian singer Tems are credited in the single, which reached no. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 last November.
It was also Rihanna's first release after a near-six-year absence, and her Oscars performance will be the first time she's performed during an awards show since the 2018 Grammys.

However, Iran's foreign ministry denied any such talks. Claire Day contributed to this report. In:
