Grammys Lady Gaga 2018. After being introduced by Scarlett Johansson, Lady Gaga ran through My Favourite Things, Edelweiss, Climb Every Mountain – in a pronounced English accent with backing from a string section.
The star teamed up with the production duo of Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, who worked on NBC live specials of the Sound of Music and Peter Pan, and who were producing their third consecutive Oscars.
Speaking on the red carpet before the performance, Gaga said she was proud to be singing songs from a film that “changed music forever and changed the film industry”.
Other performances on the night included host Neil Patrick Harris’s opening number, Moving Pictures– an ode to Hollywood that featured turns from Anna Kendrick and Jack Black. Common and John Legend also performed Glory from Ava DuVernay’s film Selma. David Oyelowo and Chris Pine were left in tears.
There were also songs from Rita Ora and Tim McGraw, who were both nominees in the best original song category alongside Glory, and Jennifer Hudson sang I Can’t Let Go after the in memoriam section.
