Pop superstars Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are set to deliver an emotional tribute to Los Angeles at this Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremony, the Recording Academy announced Friday.
The powerhouse duo will honor the city and those impacted by the recent wildfires through their performance at music's biggest night. This special appearance follows Lady Gaga's recent performance at FireAid.
The artists are riding high on the success of their hit collaboration "Die With a Smile," which is nominated in two Grammy categories - song of the year and best pop duo/group performance. Released in August 2024, the ballad has dominated music charts, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2025 and achieving massive streaming numbers. In a surprising turn of events, the King of Pop has reclaimed his throne from beyond the grave. Michael Jackson's iconic hit "Thriller" has surged to the top of the iTunes chart, displacing contemporary pop royalty Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.
Industry insiders had speculated about Lady Gaga's potential Grammy performance in recent days, with confirmation finally arriving through the Recording Academy's official announcement.
The pairing of these acclaimed artists promises to be a highlight of the ceremony, bringing together their distinctive styles for what is expected to be a memorable tribute to the City of Angels.
The Grammy Awards ceremony will broadcast live this Sunday evening, featuring this special performance alongside other highly anticipated moments from music's premier celebration.
