Shortly before taking the stage, H.E.R. spoke to Entertainment Tonight, saying “It’s a huge stage and it doesn’t get any bigger, you know? But I think the goal, for me, is to make [the song] my own.”
“I’m a huge fan of the different versions of America the Beautiful but I really want to bring some different elements in there – make it H.E.R.”
H.E.R. is in the running to pick up two Grammy Awards in 2021, including Best Song Of The Year for I Can’t Breathe, a protest song written in response to the killings of unarmed black people in the USA and the protests against police brutality and systemic racism that came from it.
