2025 Oscars: Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande set to perform

'Wicked' stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been announced as two of the performers at the 2025 Oscars.

It's unclear which songs the pair will sing, but fans are hoping to hear favourites from the musical such as 'Popular', 'Defying Gravity', and 'What Is This Feeling'.

They are both also Oscar nominees.

Grande is nominated in the 'Actress in a Supporting Role' category. She is up against Monica Barbaro ('A Complete Unknown'), Felicity Jones ('The Brutalist'), Isabella Rossellini ('Conclave') and Zoe Saldaña ('Emilia Pérez').

Saldaña is the favourite as she's already won ''Best Supporting Actress' at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Critics' Choice and SAG Awards.

Erivo is nominated for 'Actress in a Leading Role' alongside Karla Sofía Gascón ('Emilia Pérez'), Mikey Madison ('Anora'), Demi Moore ('The Substance') and Fernanda Torres ('I’m Still Here').

Moore is tipped to take home the 24-carat gold-plated statue.

Blackpink's Lisa will also perform 'Born Again', which features Doja Cat and Raye. The song was released earlier this month as the fourth single from her upcoming album, 'Alter Ego'.

"Three global superstars. One epic Oscars moment. Doja Cat, Lisa of Blackpink, and Raye take the stage for a showstopping celebration of cinema," the Academy said on Instagram.

Lisa, whose real name is Lalisa Manobal, is the first K-Pop musician to perform live at the Oscars. Her fans couldn't be prouder.

"She deserves it. I've been a fan of hers since 2016 since her debut as an idol, and I always said she'll be a global star... This girl was born as an artist," one Instagram user wrote.

Queen Latifah has also been announced as one of the performers.

"The show also will feature a special appearance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale," the Academy said.

The 97th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 2, at the Dolby® Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
