“The mixture of her incredible voice and glamour makes a perfect combination for our show,” said Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.
Common and John Legend will also perform their Oscar-nominated song “Glory” from the movie Selma, while Adam Levine will sing “Lost Stars” from Begin Again.
The 87th Academy Awards, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, will air live on Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. EST on ABC.
Rita can currently be seen on “The Voice” in the U.K., and stars as Christian Grey’s sister in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Her sophomore album is due this spring.
