A week after performing to the biggest televised audience ever (118.5 million) at the Super Bowl, Katy Perry will turn to Music's Biggest Night for her next act.

Billboard reports that Perry will sing her poignant ballad, "By the Grace of God," a song she wrote during a period of contemplating suicide, during Sunday's Grammy Awards.

Suffice to say there probably won't be any dancing sharks and metallic lions in this one.

No word yet, however, if Perry will offer any of the other hits from her nominated "Prism" album or stick with the ballad.

The pop songstress joins an ever-growing list of Grammy performers. On Tuesday it was confirmed that Paul McCartney would perform with Rihanna and Kanye West.
