In a groundbreaking fusion of cinematic celebration and musical brilliance, the 97th Academy Awards is set to dazzle audiences with an unprecedented lineup of global superstars taking center stage on Hollywood’s most prestigious night.
The Academy has sent waves of excitement through the entertainment world by announcing what promises to be one of the most electrifying moments in Oscars history: the powerhouse trio of Doja Cat, LISA of Blackpink, and British sensation RAYE will unite for a spellbinding performance of “Born Again.”
“Three global superstars. One epic Oscars moment,” teased the Academy in their official announcement, adding that viewers can expect a “showstopping celebration of cinema” when these cross-genre icons combine their distinctive artistic visions.
This collaboration represents a fascinating convergence of musical worlds: Doja Cat’s genre-defying versatility, Lisa’s revolutionary K-pop artistry, and Raye’s soulful British brilliance – promising a performance that transcends traditional boundaries and speaks to the Academy’s evolving embrace of global musical influences.
Broadway Magic Meets Hollywood Glamour
Adding to the night’s constellation of stars, the cast of the blockbuster musical adaptation “Wicked” will bring their enchanting presence to the ceremony. Powerhouse performers Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are preparing a special segment that will undoubtedly transport viewers to the magical realm of Oz, blending Broadway spectacle with Hollywood grandeur.
A Queen Takes Her Throne
In what the Academy has mysteriously described as “a moment you won’t want to miss,” the incomparable Queen Latifah will grace the Oscars stage. The multi-hyphenate legend – whose career spans rap, acting, producing, and entrepreneurship – is known for delivering unforgettable performances that blend sophistication with raw emotional power. While details remain closely guarded, expectations are sky-high for what this cultural icon will bring to Hollywood’s biggest night.

LISA’s Watershed Moment
For LISA of Blackpink, the Oscar performance represents far more than just another stage appearance. When she steps into the spotlight at the Dolby Theatre, she’ll make history as the first K-pop artist ever to perform at the Academy Awards – a watershed moment for Asian representation in Western entertainment’s most prestigious showcase.
This high-profile appearance kicks off what industry insiders are calling “LISA’s global takeover year,” strategically timed to coincide with the February 28th release of her highly anticipated debut solo album, “Alter Ego.” The Oscar performance serves as the perfect launchpad for her meteoric trajectory, which continues with another historic milestone: headlining both weekends of Coachella 2025 on April 11 and 18.
Music industry analysts note that securing both the Oscars and Coachella’s coveted headlining spot signals an unprecedented level of Western mainstream acceptance for a K-pop soloist, potentially reshaping global music industry dynamics for years to come.
As Hollywood‘s most glamorous night approaches, anticipation continues to build for this extraordinary convergence of cinematic celebration and musical innovation – a night when the boundaries between film and music, East and West, tradition and revolution will gloriously blur in service of unforgettable entertainment.
