BLACKPINK’s Lisa made history as the first K-pop artist to perform at the Academy Awards (Oscars).
I still can’t believe it. Lisa. On the Oscars stage. Performing a James Bond theme song like she was born for this moment.
I’ve seen Lisa own some of the biggest stages in the world, but there was something different about this one. This wasn’t a music awards show or a festival packed with K-pop fans. This was Hollywood. The Academy Awards. And she walked in like she belonged there. Because she did.
When Lisa Stepped on That Stage…
The moment the 007 tribute video ended, Lisa appeared, and my heart just stopped.
She was in a sleek black gown, standing there like an actual Bond girl. And then she started singing ‘Live and Let Die’—not just singing, but completely commanding the stage. Her voice. Her energy. The way she moved. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a moment.
For years, we’ve been saying K-pop has gone global, but this? This felt different. It wasn’t about K-pop breaking into the West anymore. It was about Lisa proving she belongs on the biggest stage in the world, alongside the biggest stars. And she did it so effortlessly.
K-Pop Isn’t Just Global—It’s Here to Stay
Lisa wasn’t the only artist performing that night. Doja Cat took on ‘Diamonds Are Forever’, and RAYE sang ‘Skyfall’. Amazing performances, no doubt. But let’s be real—Lisa’s felt special.
Seeing a K-pop artist on that stage wasn’t just cool, it was powerful. It showed that K-pop isn’t just something the West invites in from time to time. It’s part of the mainstream conversation now. And Lisa? She’s leading the charge.
Twitter exploded. Instagram went crazy. Lisa at the Oscars was all anyone could talk about. And as a fan, I couldn’t be prouder.
What’s Next for Lisa?
One thing I know for sure: this is just the beginning.
Lisa’s always been a trailblazer, and this Oscars performance just proved she’s on a whole new level now. What’s next? Grammys? Super Bowl? Headlining her own world tour? At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised.
All I know is—whatever Lisa does next, I’m ready for it.
