The list of performers for the upcoming Academy Awards just keeping growing.
In addition to previously announced performers Adam Levine, John Legend and Common, British artist Rita Ora will perform at the Oscars this year, the Academy announced on Wednesday.
“International recording artist Rita Ora will make her Oscar stage debut this year. The mixture of her incredible voice and glamour makes a perfect combination for our show,” producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a statement.
The 24-year-old will perform Diane Warren’s Oscar-nominated song, “Grateful,” from the film “Beyond the Lights.”
One week prior to her debut at the Oscars, which will air live on February 22 at 7 PM EST/4 PM PT on ABC, Rita will hit the big screen in “Fifty Shades of Grey,” playing Christian Grey’s little sister, Mia.
