Singer H.E.R. is being recognized for her immense talents. Major League Baseball recently announced that she will be performing the national anthem at Game 1 of the 2023 World Series on Friday, Oct. 27. This follows her performance of "America the Beautiful" at the 2021 Super Bowl.
This is a huge honor for the "Focus" singer, and she will be followed up by Pearle Peterson, the 2023 Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s National Youth Talent Performer, who will perform the anthem ahead of Game 2 on Saturday.
H.E.R. is also making her acting debut in The Color Purple musical film. A super trailer recently premiered, which highlighted her performance as Squeak in the musical remake of the Broadway show. She stars alongside a star-studded cast of A-listers, including Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Halle Bailey, Ciara, Aunjanue Ellis, Colman Domingo, Danielle Brooks, and Phylicia Pearl Mpasi. Moreover, the musical was executive produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, and Quincy Jones.
The film could garner another Academy Award for H.E.R. following her 2021 win for best original song for “Fight for You,” off the Judas and the Black Messiah soundtrack. She is well aware of the hard work it took to get where she is today and wants other women and artists to know that good things don’t happen overnight.
"It has been so many years of being the underdog, watching other artists blossom and waiting my turn," she said. “Women and other artists need to know that good things don’t happen overnight. You can’t cheat the grind.”
H.E.R. is a shining example of the power of hard work and dedication. We can't wait to see what else she has up her sleeve!
