Who's ready for the ultimate Jackson and Ally reunion?
It's official: Lady Gaga and Bradley Copper will perform their A Star Is Born classic, “Shallow,” at the 2019 Oscars!
The Academy confirmed the news on Twitter Friday (February 1), simply writing. "Cooper. Gaga. "Shallow." #Oscars." The track, which is nominated for Best Original Song, will be performed during the February 24th show along with the other four nominated tracks including Black Panther‘s “All the Stars,” RBG's “I’ll Fight,” Mary Poppins Returns' “The Place Where Lost Things Go,” and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs' “When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings."
The move to have all nominated tracks performed during Hollywood's biggest night came after the Academy received online backlash following rumors that only “Shallow” and “All the Stars” would be performed during the show. While it's unclear how long each performance will be, fans have already taken to Twitter to petition for a longer than 90-second performance of each song.
Gaga and Bradley previously teased a possible Oscars performance last year when Bradley told Variety: "We talked about that actually, because I’m such a maniac. I started texting [Gaga] the whole pitch of how we should do it. So we’ll see. There might be a cool, unorthodox way we could perform it."
As fans know, news of the on-screen couple's Oscar collab comes after the former A Star Is Born co-stars gave fans a special surprise performance of their Oscar-nominated track during Gaga's Las Vegas show last week.
The Oscars air Sunday, February 24, at 8pm ET on ABC.
