In a pre-show interview with Entertainment Tonight, H.E.R., which stands for “Having Everything Revealed,” said that she is “excited and blessed” to have been asked to sing “America the Beautiful” for the Super Bowl.

“Honestly, I am so excited to just be performing at the Super Bowl,” said the Grammy-winning artist. “It’s a huge stage and it doesn’t get any bigger, you know? But I think the goal, for me, is to make [the song] my own. I’m a huge fan of the different versions of ‘America the Beautiful,’ but I really want to bring some different elements in there… make it H.E.R.”

She added that she has been doing her homework by rehearsing and “watching a lot of other performers.” She also said that having H.E.R. perform is a positive message for other young Black women.

“I think the No. 1 thing I think about a lot is the fact that I’m a young Black girl from the Bay area, that never imagined that I would be on a stage like that. I think it’s a message to other young Black women that you can do it too,” said H.E.R.

The two-time Grammy winner is also fresh off receiving a Golden Globe Award nomination for the song “Fight for You,” from Judas and the Black Messiah, which she told Entertainment Tonight “means the world” to her.
