After weeks and hope of speculation since the Oscar nominees were announced on February 8, it’s finally confirmed that Beyoncé will be performing on the award show telecast this Sunday. She’ll sing her Best Original Song nominee “Be Alive,” which she co-wrote with Dixson for the film King Richard.
But Beyoncé doesn’t have to play by the same rules as even other celebrities, who often do splashy press tours after such a nomination to court favor from the academy. The infamously private star hasn’t succumbed to any of that pressure, so it has been a mystery up until now if she’d be participating in the awards ceremony at all. The Academy Awards revealed just after voting closed, that Bey will perform, with other performers including Billie Eilish, Finneas, Reba McEntire, and Sebastián Yatra.
