Anitta to Perform at NFL's First Game in Sao Paulo

Brazilian pop sensation Anitta is set to perform at halftime during the inaugural NFL game in South America on September 6. The highly anticipated matchup will feature the Green Bay Packers facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Sao Paulo. The NFL made the announcement on Tuesday, highlighting Anitta's status as a beloved figure in Brazil's music scene for over a decade. Anitta, who recently released her album "Funk Generation" in April, has made history as the first Brazilian artist to achieve 35 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Additionally, she holds the record for the most Hot 100 charting songs among Brazilian female artists. Expressing her excitement, Anitta stated, "It means everything to be able to perform in Sao Paulo at the NFL's first game in Brazil," emphasizing her desire to share the vibrancy of Brazilian culture with fans worldwide. In a notable moment earlier this year, Anitta released a music video for her track "Accept," which showcases rituals from the Afro-Brazilian faith Candomblé. This release sparked controversy in Brazil, a country where religious intolerance remains a significant issue. Despite the backlash, the video has garnered over 3.4 million views on YouTube, further solidifying her influence in the music industry. As the NFL prepares for this historic event, Anitta's performance is expected to be a highlight, celebrating both sports and Brazilian culture on an international stage.
