The British-born, Australian-raised performer chose to sing a segment of the movie’s ballad Hopelessly Devoted To You.

At first appearing hesitant as she held the microphone to her mouth, she told the crowd: ‘I have to preface this with I haven’t sung in a year, so will you help me?’

Fans could be heard saying ‘aww’, before cheering and saying ‘yes’ to encourage the brave superstar.
