Adele will perform at the Academy Awards, it was announced on Wednesday.

The British superstar — who is nominated for Original Song — will take to the Oscar stage to sing “Skyfall,” the theme to the latest James Bond movie.

It will mark Adele’s first U.S. TV performance since last year’s Grammys, and her first live performance of “Skyfall.”

“It’s an honor to be nominated and terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my imagination over and over again,” Adele said, adding, “It’s something I’ve never experienced and probably only ever will once!”

Adele took home the Golden Globe for Original Song earlier this month.

The Oscars will air live on ABC on February 24.
