Lady Gaga to Perform Oscar-Nominated Song During Award Show

Change of plans! Lady Gaga will perform her hit from 'Top Gun' at the 2023 Oscars.

After reports that Lady Gaga couldn't make it to this year's Oscars ceremony due to scheduling conflicts while filming for Joker: Folie à Deux, the star changed her plans last minute.

According to Variety, sources shared that Gaga will make a surprise appearance at the award show to perform the song "Hold My Hand," which she sang and co-wrote with producer BloodPop for the Oscar-nominated film Top Gun: Maverick.

Now that Gaga is performing, the 2023 Oscars will feature performances of all of the nominated songs.

Rihanna will perform "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Sofia Carson and Diane Warren will sing "Applause" from Tell It Like a Woman, Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne, and Son Lux will perform "This Is a Life" from Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will sing “Naatu Naatu” from RRR.

Oscars producer Glenn Weiss initially said at a press conference on March 8, "We have great relationships with Lady Gaga and her camp [but] she's in the middle of shooting a movie right now, and here we are honoring the movie industry and what it takes to make a movie."

"After a bunch of back and forth, it didn't feel like she can get a performance to the caliber that we're used to with her, that she's used to and all that stuff," he continued. "So she is not going to perform on the show. However, this is all, from our point of view, about someone making a movie and us completely understanding that that's what is priority in this business, especially when we are honoring movies."

Luckily, things changed, and the Joker: Folie à Deux actress will take the stage tonight and possibly bring home an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
