With Her Moving Performance, Rihanna Lifts Up the Oscars

On March 12th, 2023, on the stage of the Oscars, Rihanna came and conquered billions of hearts with her sensational performance honoring the late actor Chadwick Boseman. Rihanna was there not to just perform but to carry out heavier work. And with her magical voice, she made everyone feel each word she uttered with passion. Her heart-melting ballad ‘Lift Me Up’, from ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, a funereal track honoring Boseman. On August 28th, 2020, the actor died of colon cancer at an age of 43. Her performance received a standing ovation from the honorable ensemble crowd. With this number, she received her first nomination to the Oscars as well.

The lady in a gleaming black dress with silver linings, and above-elbow gloves, the diamonds around her neck gave accent to her look even further along with her minimal diamond earrings. Prior to the performance, she was seen on the red carpet as well, in a black body-hugging long-tailed dress. Pregnancy has never stopped Rihanna from flaunting herself, and a few days before she posted a cute and candid photo of her nine-month-old son with an adorable caption, “My son when he found out his sibling is going to the Oscars and not him @theacademy #oscarnominee #oscarperformancein1week swipe for tb of my fat man.” Along with that photo, there was a short video of her son apparently reacting to her ‘Lift Me Up’ in the most endearing way.

Previously she revealed that she slept in the studio while she was making the track in November 2022. She said, “Just recently I pushed through three days at the studio in a row—like, slept in the studio—to get a song done because it’s a project that’s really important to me coming out. I believed it, and I wanted to be a part of it, so I got it done.” There is also high anticipation of her ninth studio album, and slightly nudging the rumors in the classic Rihanna way she was “I want it to be this year”. Adding more, “Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.” Keeping her perfectionist-self motivated it seems like the wait is going to end this year.
