Karol G, a member of YouTube’s ‘Billion-View Club’ with almost 30 billion views on her channel, has proven to be a dominant force in the music industry. Her global success was a key factor in her selection for this important sporting event. The NFL, in collaboration with YouTube, has strengthened its global presence. Last year, the league’s official content accumulated over 350 million hours of viewing, demonstrating the impact of this partnership. In addition to Karol G’s performance, the league has confirmed the participation of Brazilian star Ana Castela, who will perform the Brazilian national anthem. Likewise, Kamasi Washington, renowned American jazz composer and saxophonist, will perform the United States national anthem.I am very excited to be part of the first live NFL broadcast on YouTube. It’s a true honor and a moment I’m very proud of. I’ve watched many NFL halftime shows and having this opportunity to bring my music to this global stage means so much to me.
