Oscar producers announced on Friday that Sofia Carson and Diane Warren will perform the Best Original Song nominee “Applause” on the ceremony. Carson was the star of Disney’s “Descendants,” while Warren is now a 14-time nominee who received an honorary Academy Award this past November.
It was previously announced on Thursday that music superstar Rihanna will perform “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” at the 95th Oscars ceremony.
