It was the performance seen around the world.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who played Ally and Jackson Maine in the film A Star Is Born, graced to the Academy Awards stage for a memorable performance of the now-iconic song they sang in the movie, “Shallow,” garnering applause after only singing the first phrase.

It was an incredible performance no one could stop talking about, and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, which was well-deserved.

A Star Is Born‘s Country Connection

What you may not know about “Shallow” and A Star Is Born, is that Lukas Nelson – Willie Nelson’s son – and his band Promise of the Real play Cooper’s band in the movie. Nelson has been very vocal on social media about his involvement in the film and how honored he was to be in it. He also co-wrote several songs performed in the movie.
