Rihanna forever. Just one month after slaying the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the pop superstar returned to the stage at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday where she performed her Oscar-nominated song “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for the first time. Following an introduction from Wakanda Forever star Danai Gurira, who called her “royalty in her own right,” the pregnant singer stunned in a custom Maison Margiela Artisanal look while standing on a platform that rose throughout the performance.

She received a standing ovation from the star-studded audience at the Dolby Theatre including A$AP Rocky, who cheered on his baby mama with a glass of champagne in hand. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghlagatindotcom/support
