According to a recent report, American singer Beyonce is in talks with the Academy Awards organizers to perform "Be Alive" from King Richard, the biopic on Venus and Serena Williams' father, at the 2022 ceremony.

As per Vanity Fair, the award show organizers are looking to have Beyonce perform the track on the tennis courts of Compton, California—where Venus and Serena Williams grew up practicing.

Beyonce, one of the world's best-selling recording artists, has been nominated in the Best Original Song category for the track at the Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars.

Full details of the deliberations between the award show organizers and Beyonce's team are not available, but reports have suggested that a satellite telecast of Beyonce performing the track live is being considered.

A Warner Bros. production, King Richard, traces the champion duo's formative years and the incredible journey they undertook. The movie captures their journey from humble beginnings in Compton, California to conquering the biggest tennis courts across the globe.
