Tyla showed off her vocal chops like never before with a soaring rendition of the South African national anthem ahead of the FIFA World Cup kick off on Thursday (June 11).
On hand at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca for the Mexico vs. South Africa match, the GRAMMY winner may have seen her native country lose the bout but she had already won thunderous applause for her showing before the action began.
Did you miss her jaw-dropping when it first aired? No worries; we’ve got you covered inside.

The stunning performance came just weeks after Tyla unveiled the official music video for ‘Game Time‘ with rapper Future, one of the year’s FIFA World Cup anthems.

They should’ve gotten Cassie
And P Diddy make a surprise appearance
Didn’t show her not once lipsyncing to that song
She’s trash
Weird that they only showed her for 5 seconds (or less) on this 2+ minute long video. She sounds good tho, tho I’m sure it was prerecorded..
What kind of racist crap is this? Why can’t we see Tyla singing her country’s natioonal anthem?!
Lol itl’s ike the cameraman literally can’t find Tyla. That random oldwhi teman got more airtime than her 🤣
