After Singing ‘Star Spangled Banner’ in Spanish at Dodgers Game in Spite of Being Warned Not To, Nezza Tearfully Says: ‘Today, Out of All Days… I Needed to Do It’
The Latin-R&B singer Nezza tearfully explained why she sang "The Star Spangled Banner" in Spanish at a Dodgers game despite being told not to.
A video posted by the singer on TikTok shows a Dodgers rep telling her the performance will need to be in English — cutting right to footage of the end of her National Anthem en espanol, which appears to be enthusiastically received in the ballpark. Nezza’s original TikTok post about her Spanish-language rendering, which had more than 4 million views as of Sunday afternoon, was captioned: “Watch the Dodgers tell me I can’t sing the Spanish ‘Star Spangled Banner that Roosevelt literally commissioned in 1945… So I did it anyway.” Most recently, Nezza sang an English version of “The Star Spangled Banner” at an A’s game in her native Bay Area on June 3, which may be where the Dodgers learned of her ability to nail the anthem.
