Osars 2025: The 97th Academy Awards were held at the Dolby Theatre. After several awards were announced, the event paused for an artistic homage to James Bond. BLACKPINK's Lisa gave a powerful performance on Live And Let Die.
BLACKPINK's Lisa became the first K-pop artist to perform at the Academy Awards, making history this year. She sang a stirring version of the iconic 1973 Bond theme first played by Paul McCartney & Wings, while at the center of a spectacular James Bond tribute. After a brief creative homage to the venerable spy series, Lisa took over the stage with her commanding presence and high-pitched voice.
