More Rihanna, pls!
Hot off her highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance, the 34-year-old singer will return to the stage on March 12, performing her Black Panther: Wakanda Forever song, “Lift Me Up,” at this year’s Oscars ceremony.

Rihanna Is Set to Perform at the Oscars Next Month—Here’s Everything We Know So Far
The single, from last summer’s Marvel blockbuster, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is nominated for best original song. It’s also Rihanna’s first Oscar nomination ever. She shares the category with Lady Gaga (“Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick); Son Lux featuring Mistki and David Byrne (“This Is a Life” from Everything Everywhere All at Once); Rahul Sipligunj, Kaala Bhairava and M.M. Keeravani (“Naatu Naatu” from RRR) and Sofia Carson (“Applause” from Tell It like a Woman).
While she didn’t perform “Lift Me Up” during her 13-minute Super Bowl medley, we might not have noticed what with her surprise announcement of pregnancy no. 2. The Barbadian singer used her sky-high platform to reveal she’s expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky.
Sure, it’s been over seven years since the singer released her eighth studio album, Anti—and we may have more time to wait still—but another top-notch performance from Bad Gal RiRi will hold us over a little longer.
