The announcement was made on Twitter by the US star who thanked the Academy for inviting her down.

Host of this year's Oscars, Ellen DeGeneres, also revealed her excitement at the news and said although she didn't know what song was to be performed, she was preparing by bringing a safety net.

Last year, the show was stolen by Adele who gave a memorable performance of her Oscar winning song 'Skyfall' during a special James Bond segment.
