Alessia Cara will headline the 2018 Grey Cup halftime show in Edmonton Nov. 25.

The Canadian Football League confirmed Saturday that the Grammy-winning artist from Brampton, Ont., will perform at the Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium during the game.

The Growing Pains singer-songwriter won a Grammy Award earlier this year for best new artist, becoming the first Canadian to take home a trophy in that category. Her chart-topping hits include Here, Scars to Your Beautiful, Stay and Wild Things.

Further details about the show haven't been released yet. In a memorable moment last year, Shania Twain began her headline performance at the 2017 Grey Cup in Ottawa by entering on a dog sled.

It has not yet been determined which two teams will advance to the final.
