Oscars 2023: Lady Gaga Surprises All With No Make-Up Look On Stage, Rihanna Enthralls With Her Live Singing

Lady Gaga sang 'Hold My Hand', one of her songs from the Top Gun: Maverick-themed blockbuster movie starring Tom Cruise.

New Delhi: Lady Gaga, a singer and actress, caught everyone off guard when she appeared on stage during the 95th Academy Awards. The singer showed up without any makeup and wore ripped jeans and a black t-shirt for a more laid-back appearance.

She sang 'Hold My Hand', one of her songs from the Top Gun: Maverick-themed blockbuster movie starring Tom Cruise.

Because of the pressures of filming 'Joker: Folie a Deux', Gaga was previously said to be skipping the awards presentation, thus the choice appeared to be made at the last minute.

Oscars executive producer and showrunner Glenn Weiss first stated that Gaga would not be performing during a creative team press conference on March 8.

The Oscar-nominated song "Lift Me Up" from 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' was performed by singer Rihanna at the ceremony.

Many in the audience at the Dolby Theatre and at home were moved by the strength and emotiveness of her live singing, despite the fact that she had to lip sync during her most recent Super Bowl Halftime performance.

Lift Me Up' is Rihanna's first single after a long drought of new material being released, and it earned the singer her first Oscar nod. The music was created by Rihanna, Tems, 'Black Panther 2' director Ryan Coogler and composer Ludwig Goransson, with Tems and Coogler penning the lyrics.

At last month's Super Bowl Halftime show, her first live performance since the 2018 Grammys, Rihanna sang some of her biggest hits, including ;Where Have You Been', 'Only Girl (in the World)', 'Work' and 'We Found Love'. 'Lift Me Up' was not on the setlist.

Rihanna also made waves for revealing her second pregnancy while on stage.

The 95th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, are taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and are available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar.
