Traditionally, all five songs nominated for Best Original Song are performed live on the Academy Awards broadcast, but many had wondered if Cooper – who has not done this live in the film – would really take the stage.

But according to Cooper, the duo has been talking about a potential Oscar performance for some time.

Later in the interview, Gaga talked about her memories of watching the Academy Awards as a little kid.

"I used to wrap myself in an Afghan or my grandmother's knitted blanket and stand on a podium while I watched the Oscars," she recalled. "I had big dreams as a child."

The grown-up Gaga is no stranger to performing on the Oscar stage: she sang her song "Til It Happens to You" from the documentary The Hunting Ground in 2016's broadcast, more Sound of Music medley in 2015.
