Rihanna is not only up for three Grammys next week, but I just got word that the 20-year-old beauty has been added to the list of performers on the big night.

The Barbadian pop princess’ hit single “Disturbia” is up for Best Dance Recording, while her collaboration with Maroon 5, “If I Never See Your Face Again,” got a nod for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. She was also nominated in the Best Long Form Music Video category for Good Girl Gone Bad Live.

Rihanna joins previously announced performers like Radiohead, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, the Jonas Brothers, Jennifer Hudson, Katy Perry, ColdplayCarrie Underwood and Lil Wayne, among others.

Rihanna picked up her first Grammy last year with Jay-Z for Best Rap/Song Collaboration for the infectious “Umbrella.”

CBS will air the Grammys live on Feb. 8 from Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.
