“Writing this song for the film Top Gun: Maverick was a deep and powerful experience that I will never forget,” the singer added.
The singer has created history after her nod as this is the first time any artist has been nominated three times in the Best Original Song category.
“So grateful for the magic of music and cinema,” she continued. “Love you my co-writer @bloodpop I’m on set filming now big love to little monsters!”
