Lady Gaga has sparked the ire of Oscars bosses by turning down an invite to perform after keeping them hanging for months.
The star is the third favourite to take the gong for power ballad Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick, behind favourite Naatu Naatu and Rihanna ’s Lift Me Up, from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
But while the other competitors all confirmed their performances in February, Gaga kept frustrated bosses guessing by “going back and forth” on her decision.
