“This year has been truly rewarding, and the timing of this opportunity — to be part of such an important moment like YouTube’s first-ever NFL live broadcast — is perfect,” the singer shared in an exclusive written statement.
“With my latest album, Tropicoqueta, I set out to represent the many facets of my Latin culture, something I’m incredibly passionate about in everything I do,” she added. “I’m excited to bring that same energy and pride to this global stage and honoured to continue elevating Latin culture on such a monumental platform.”
“Our goal is to highlight the excitement and Americana of the NFL, but do this thoughtfully in a way that plays to local cultures, practices and traditions,” said Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation and entertainment at the NFL, adding that booking the Colombian singer ‘not only excites the fans and pays homage to the South America culture, but has an impact on a global scale’.
“We hope all of our fans are ready for a historic celebration,” he added.
Notably, the game will be available free for fans to stream across the globe, exclusively through YouTube and YouTube TV.
