Rihanna’s pulling double duty Oscars night.
Fresh off her eclectic Super Bowl halftime performance earlier this month, the Oscar nominee will perform at the Academy Awards ceremony on March 12.
The “Shut Up and Drive” crooner, 35, will sing “Lift Me Up” — the theme from the Marvel film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday.
Rihanna — who is pregnant with her second child — wrote the song with Tems, “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Göransson.
The track is nominated for the best original song Oscar. It’s Rihanna’s first Academy Award nomination.
The other nominees for best original song are: Diane Warren with “Applause” from “Tell it Like a Woman,” Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR” and David Byrne’s track “This Is a Life” from “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
The 2023 Oscars, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will air on ABC at 8 p.m. ET from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Rihanna rocked the house during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl halftime show, where she unveiled her baby bump and sang a medley of her greatest hits from over the years.
Her 13-minute performance included “Rude Boy,” “Umbrella” and “Work.”
However, the Barbados-born crooner was also accused of lip-syncing. A few social media users alleged she didn’t sing live.

“Amazing how Rihanna is able to keep singing even when she puts the mic aside and doesn’t move her lips at all,” one viewer snarked.
“Too bad Rihanna is lip-syncing,” another claimed, adding footage of her cover of Kanye West’s song “All of the Lights.” On the track, it appeared that her lips and the lyrics didn’t match up.
“You know I love you but that’s the worst lips sinc [sic] ever. OMG,” penned one person, while someone else wrote, “Lip-syncing at the Super Bowl should not be allowed.”
The academy that hosts the Oscars noted Rihanna is a nine-time Grammy Award winner who boasts eight multi-platinum albums and 14 singles that reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The academy promised to announce more Oscars performers in the coming weeks.
