“So, (drum roll) Ladies and Gentlemen, I will be chanteusing (that’s singing) on the Oscars on Feb 24,’ she wrote.
“The nominated song from ‘Mary Poppins’…’The Place Where Lost Things Go’ …so excited!!.”
It was originally thought that only two of the five songs nominated in the category would be performed at the 91st Oscars, but the Academy rowed back on the decision.
She joins Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga among others in performing on the night.
