Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” is a 2023 Academy Awards Nominee
It looks like 2023 is shaping up to be the year of Rihanna.
The Barbadian billionaire was already scheduled to headline Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. Tuesday morning it was revealed that she has earned her first Oscar nomination.
Her song "Lift Me Up," the lead single from the soundtrack for the film "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," is contending for best original song at the 95th Academy Awards
Not bad for the first solo effort by the 34-year-old star on a track since 2016.
While Rihanna provided the vocals and took part in the writing process for the ballad, it was a team effort.
Singer-songwriter Tems, the film's director Ryan Coogler and composer Ludwig Goransson shared writing credits on the record and in the nomination.
