BLACKPINK’s Lisa Got Standing Ovation, Most Talked-About Celebrity at the Oscars
On March 4 (local), a chart revealing the most talked-about attendees at the 97th Academy Awards (also referred to as the 2025 Oscars) was revealed. According to the chart, which compiles data from public posts on SNS sites, forums, and review sites, BLACKPINK’s Lisa is the most mentioned artist at the even, with over 500,000 mentions – far surpassing the 2nd contender, Ariana Grande (who attracted over 190,000 mentions).
Meanwhile, previously on March 2 (local time), BLACKPINK’s Lisa took the stage at the 97th Academy Awards (the Oscars), which was held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
Dressed in a black gown, Lisa delivered a stunning performance of “Live and Let Die”, a theme song from the legendary “007” series. With her exceptional vocals and captivating stage presence, she mesmerized the audience, marking a milestone as the first K-pop singer to perform at the prestigious event.
Following Lisa’s performance, Doja Cat sang “Diamonds Are Forever”, and Raye performed “Skyfall”. The three artists, who previously collaborated in Lisa’s song “Born Again”, later took the stage together to greet the audience, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd.
Prior to the performance, Lisa shocked the crowd as she appeared on the red carpet in a floor-length suit in black and white. It is said that Lisa‘s outfit matches that of Doja Cat and Raye to pay homage to cinema legendary James Bond and his girls, and the trio’s later performances prove this concept true.
On the other hand, Lisa’s appearance at the Oscars previously drew scrutiny, as many accused the female idol of receiving favoritism due to her connection with alleged boyfriend and heir Frédéric Arnault. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims, and Lisa’s outstanding performance has blown most doubts about her ability away.
Additionally, Lisa recently dropped her solo debut album “Alter Ego”, drawing immense attention with every new career move.
