Coming off a red hot year in 2012, pop princess Rihanna’s stellar efforts appear to be paying off in a major way in 2013. Already nominated for three Grammy Awards behind her gold-selling Unapologetic album, the "Diamonds" singer was also announced among this year’s lineup of Grammy performers.

Following up her “We Found Love” performance at last year’s ceremony, this will be the songstress' third consecutive performance during music’s biggest night.

The five-time Grammy winner is up for Best Solo Pop Performance, Best Short Form Music Video and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
