Upon learning that “Born Again” collaborators LISA, Doja Cat, and RAYE would be taking the stage at the Oscars, music fans were all-at-once excited and curious. They were excited to see three of music’s hottest names taking such a high-profile stage, but they were confused about their potential performance — as they did not have a direct, collective connection to this year’s major nominees.
The answer came midway through Sunday’s broadcast, when they took the stage during a tribute to the iconic James Bond franchise. LISA performed “Live and Die,” while Doja Cat sang “Diamonds Are Forever,” and RAYE closed with “Skyfall.”
Shortly after the LISA performance, the Academy shared stage-view photos of her electric number. Those follow:
