“A spellbinding moment awaits. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande take the #Oscars stage for a performance you won’t forget,” the Academy wrote on X about Erivo and Grande’s performance.

The Academy also appeared to tease that Doja Cat, Lisa, and Raye may perform together after they released their collaboration, “Born Again.” The organization shared an X post and wrote that the trio will “take the stage for a showstopping celebration of cinema.”

Along with the A-list stars, the Los Angeles Master Chorale will make an appearance at the awards show. This year’s Oscars are being executive-produced by Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan. Conan O’Brien will host the ABC-streamed Oscars on March 2 from Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre.
