Teletubby 149,578 Posted Thursday at 05:21 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:21 PM The Grammy award-winning musician will headline a halftime show during YouTube’s first exclusive NFL broadcast next month, which will stream live from Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil on Sept. 5. That’s the NFL week 1 matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the reigning AFC-winning Kansas City Chiefs. “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. I’m excited to bring that same energy and pride to this global stage and honored to continue elevating Latin culture on such a monumental platform.” It’s a natural pairing. Karol G is a global superstar, American football is growing in popularity worldwide, and many of the world’s most ardent music fans call Brazil home — it’s one of the many reasons “Come to Brazil” has become a stalwart meme, a three-word stand-in for the ultimate expression of fandom. “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. Booking Karol G “not only excites our fans and pays homage to their culture in South America, but has an impact on a global scale,” he added. “We hope all of our fans are ready for a historic celebration.” The game is free to stream for fans across the globe, exclusively through YouTube and YouTube TV. It begins at 5 p.m. Pacific / 8 p.m. Eastern / 9 p.m. BRT (local time). A pre-show kicks off an hour earlier. apnews.com/ "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
