After initially declining to perform live at the 95th Academy Awards, Lady Gaga made a last-minute decision to sing "Hold My Hand," her Oscar-nominated single from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack. And while it was reported that she didn't want to participate because she didn't have enough time to deliver a performance at the caliber she's used to, Gaga did not disappoint when she took the stage on Sunday. 

Gaga hit the stage in a stripped-down look -- far from what we're used to seeing the glamorous actress-singer wear while performing -- wearing her hair in a French braid and sporting little to no makeup while singing to the crowd in a black T-shirt and jeans.
