Doja Cat, Lisa and Raye then took the stage one by one as the three ladies teamed up for a tribute celebrating some of the amazing songs to come out of the franchise’s 60 years.

The Bond baton was then passed on to Doja Cat, who gave a mesmerizing rendition of Shirley Bassey’s “Diamonds Are Forever” from that 1971 Bond film.
To wrap up the incredible performance, Rayecovered Adele’s powerful “Skyfall,” as she donned a black-and-white dress and was accompanied by an orchestra before hitting one incredibly impressive final note.

“That signature mix of danger, style and intrigue? Well, that’s timeless,” Berry said of Bond before the medley began. Berry, of course, starred as Jinx in 2002’s Die Another Day.

More recently Skyfall, Spectre and No Time to Die all won for their theme songs, sang by the likes of Adele, Sam Smith and Billie Eilish.
