LISA, the White Lotus star and global K-pop sensation known for her fierce dance moves and magnetic stage presence, took her place at the center to sing "Live and Let Die," her sleek silhouette a perfect blend of elegance and intensity.

RAYE, the British singer-songwriter whose versatility has made her one of the most exciting voices of her generation, stood poised with an emotive, soul-stirring rendition of Adele's "Skyfall."
