Rita Ora To Perform “Grateful” At The Oscars

Rita Ora is confirmed to perform the Best Original Song nominee “Grateful” from the film Beyond the Lights at the Academy Awards.

Ora’s “Grateful” was featured on the film’s soundtrack, and was written by Diane Warren – a seven-time nominee.

“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,” said Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in their announcement of the news.

Ora is the third artist announced to perform from the Best Original Song category. Earlier this week, it was announced that Adam Levine would perform “Lost Stars” (Begin Again) and that Common and John Legend would appear to perform “Glory” (Selma). Also nominated for Best Original Song are “Everything Is Awesome” from The Lego Movie and “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” from Glen Campbell…I’ll Be Me.

The Oscars will be awarded Sunday, Feb. 22, and air live on ABC at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT.
