Rita Ora Performs At The Oscars Despite Not Caring About Her Nominated Song All Year

Rita Ora hasn’t shown much interest in “Grateful,” the Oscar-nominated song from “Beyond the Lights” that scored song-writer Diane Warren a seventh career nod, but that didn’t stop her from performing at Sunday’s Oscars. Ora took the stage to sing “Grateful,” this after barely acknowledging its existence in the weeks following this year’s Oscar nominations.

I’m so thankful to be have been able to participate in a piece of Diane Warren’s lyrical genius. I am incredibly ‘grateful’ that I will have the opportunity to perform at the Oscars thanks to her work, and I’m so glad that I’ll be able to share it with a wider audience on February 22.”
