Following a well-received release both critically and commercially, it's almost certain that A Star Is Born [1] will be represented at the 2019 Oscars [2] in some capacity. Though there's still debate about whether the film will be nominated in the best picture category [3], it's considered a shoo-in for best original song. You know what that means: expect Lady Gaga [4] and Bradley Cooper [5] to take the stage at the award show.
When asked if she would perform the hit "Shallow" [6] at the Oscars if nominated, Gaga told Variety [7], "One hundred percent." Cooper confirmed as much and said, "We talked about that actually, because I'm such a maniac. I started texting her the whole pitch of how we should do it. So we'll see. There might be a cool, unorthodox way we could perform it."
The Oscars would be mark Gaga and Cooper's first official joint live performance on such a public stage, however, the costars actually sang live during filming [9] on stages at festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury, although extras in the audience couldn't hear the music because it wasn't being amplified.
