Jhené Aiko was among the group of talent booked to perform at Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night.
The Grammy-nominated singer performed “America the Beautiful” as part of the pregame show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Donning a beautiful espresso dress and backed by a harpist, Aiko delivered an angelic rendition of the patriotic tune.
“My Daddy’s from Cincinnati… Mom is from L.A 🥰 America the Beautiful,” Aiko tweeted earlier this month.

Aiko has a few performances lined up for this year. On March 19, she will play at the Smokin’ Grooves Festival at LA State Historic Park in Los Angeles, California. On May 1, she will co-headline the Sol Blume Festival at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California.
Last December, Aiko gifted fans with an original holiday track titled “Wrap Me Up.” It was previously shared on SoundCloud in 2012, with James Fauntleroy as a guest vocalist.
Other songs Aiko appeared on in 2021 include “In the Dark” with Swae Lee, Saweetie’s “Back to the Streets” and Ty Dolla $ign’s “By Yourself (Remix).” She also made her critically-acclaimed mixtape Sailing Soul(s) available on streaming platforms, in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
