"Growing up in Brazil has completely shaped my journey as an artist and of course as a person," Anitta said in a statement. "It means everything to be able to perform in São Paulo for the first NFL game in Brazil, where I can show fans around the world the excitement and joy of our amazing culture. It's truly a dream come true to be a part of this moment."
The setlist for Anitta's halftime show will reportedly include her greatest hits and will be broadcast live on the NFL's world feed and local Brazilian game broadcasts. The lineup will also include Brazilian pop singer Luísa Sonza, who will sing the country's national anthem Hino Nacional Brasileiro, and American-Brazilian singer Zeeba, who will sing the U.S. national anthem.
For fans in São Paulo, the NFL has prepared a three-day fan festival at Parque Villa Lobos, starting on September 6, with additional viewing parties throughout the city. Brazilian viewers can watch the Packers-Eagles game on September 6 via CazéTV, RedeTV!, ESPN Brazil and NFL Game Pass on DAZN.
