Sophie Ellis-Bextor to Perform ‘Saltburn’ Sensation ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ at BAFTA Film Awards


After becoming a viral sensation thanks to Barry Keoghan's naked dance in 'Saltburn,' 'Murder on the Dancefloor' is heading to the BAFTAs.

More than 20 years after the song was first released and following a recent surge in popularity — thanks almost entirely to Barry Keoghan ‘s naked dance scene in “ Saltburn ” — Sophie Ellis-Bextor ‘s “Murder on the Dancefloor” is getting a major moment at the BAFTAs. The British Academy has announced that Ellis-Bextor will perform her smash hit at the film awards ceremony on Feb. 18, marking the latest stage in a triumphant comeback for the track, first released in December 2001. Given his birthday-suited assistance in helping “Murder on the Dancefloor” reach its new heights, however he reacts to the performance may well create a viral moment similar to Ariana DeBose’s peculiar rap at the BAFTAs last year.
