She's ready to take a bow once again! The Recording Academy announced on Tuesday, Jan. 13, that Madonna will perform at next month's 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
The Queen of Pop, 56, first teased her big gig on Twitter in the late hours of Monday evening, Jan. 12. She shared a new photo of the artwork for her Rebel Heart album — this time featuring a Grammy award instead a shot of her face.
"Rebel Hearts see you Feb 8th @TheGRAMMYs #GRAMMY's #rebelheart," she wrote.
The Grammys then confirmed the exciting news in a press release. This will be the fifth Grammys performance for Madonna, who is not up for any honors at the awards show. The gig precedes the upcoming Grammy-ineligible March 10 debut of Madonna's 13th studio album Rebel Heart, which was partially released by the singer last month after widespread leaks.
With just weeks to go until the 2015 Grammys, The Recording Academy teased further excitement on Tuesday, breaking the news that Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Eric Church and AC/DC will all also perform at the star-studded music awards.
"AC/DC are returning to US TV for the first time in over 14 years to perform at @TheGRAMMYs on Feb 8," the veteran rockers tweeted on Tuesday. Now made up of musicians Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd, Bon Scott, Cliff Williams, Angus Young, and Malcolm Young, the celebrated band released its Rock or Bust album after a six-year hiatus this past November.
Grande, 21, who has yet to comment on the gig, is up for big awards at the 57th Annual Grammys. She is nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album for My Everything, and with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Bang Bang."
Her fellow performers Sheeran and Church could also take home multiple statues.
British singer Sheeran, 23, is up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for his record x, and Best Song Written for Visual Media for "I See Fire" from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
Country crooner Church, 37, leads the pack with four nominations: Best Country Solo Performance for "Give Me Back My Hometown," Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Raise 'Em Up" with Keith Urban, Best Country Song for "Give Me Back My Hometown," and Best Country Album for The Outsiders.
