Along with Rihanna's "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Lady Gaga's Academy Award-nominated "Hold My Hand" (which she recorded for Top Gun: Maverick) is one of our favorite songs from 2022. After stunning in an all-black Versace look on the red carpet, she performed "Hold My Hand" during the live Oscars broadcast. Unlike her viral 2019 performance of A Star Is Born's "Shallow", this one was unlike anything we've seen in recent years for one simple reason: Lady Gaga was wearing ripped jeans and Converse...and no makeup.
