Andra Day recently spoke at the Billboard Women in Music Awards about her performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at the 2024 Super Bowl. Despite facing some backlash, Day remains unfazed, attributing her resilience to her faith and spirituality. She emphasized the importance of focusing on positivity rather than negative criticism.
Day expressed gratitude for the opportunity to perform a unifying song and acknowledged the presence of differing opinions as a normal occurrence. She highlighted the significance of standing in the shoes of those who came before her, such as Sheryl Lee Ralph, who performed the Black National Anthem at the 2023 Super Bowl.
