Jhené Aiko Brings Hometown Pride With Her Rendition of 'America the Beautiful' at Super Bowl LVI
Jhené Aiko brought it home with her rendition of “America the Beautiful” during the Super Bowl LVI kick-off show on Sunday. The Los Angeles native dazzled in a sequin purple dress and she softly sang the song, while backed by a harpist. During the performance, soldiers serving overseas as well as fans and players inside of Los Angeles' Sofi Stadium were moved by the patriotic performance. On behalf of the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), acclaimed actress Sandra Mae Frank performed «America the Beautiful» in American Sign Language alongside the singer. .@JheneAiko performs America the Beautiful! #SBLVIpic.twitter.com/QtTOcG4nSAAiko, who was born and raised in the city, appeared in the This Is LA Super Bowl spot, ahead of her performance.
