Ariana Grande spoke out about the big performance in a recent interview with MTV, where she teased that she'll be performing "a different rendition" of the song at the movie awards on April 10.
Ariana teased that Broadway composer Jason Robert Brown will be a part of her MTV Movie Awards performance. "This is a really special thing for me," Ariana recently said of the collaboration. "It's exciting to change it up… and now it's adding an exciting flavor to it," Grande teased.
As for Halsey, her MTV Movie Awards performance will see her make the live debut of the track "Castle," which is featured in the movie The Huntsman: Winter's War.
"This will be the first time I perform 'Castle,'" Halsey previously told MTV of her awards show outing last month. "This song is so important to me as a woman; it's about not letting anything get in your way. I'm so happy MTV & The Huntsman are giving me the opportunity to present that message on television. Plus it'll look sick."

Who is also winning an award prior to the ceremony? Melissa McCarthy. McCarthy was previously announced[5] as a winner at the MTV Movie Awards after being awarded the Comedic Genius Award, making her the first woman to earn the achievement.
