Rachel Platten Talks Performing ‘Fight Song’ at NFL Game in Honor of LA Fire Victims & First Responders: ‘Sometimes Music Can Do What Words Can’t’


Rachel Platten talks performing "Fight Song" before the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings game in honor of LA fire victims and first responders.

Ever since its release in 2015, Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” has become a musical representation of hope for anyone overcoming obstacles or struggling with tragedy. As the wildfires in Los Angeles continue to devastate the city, Platten took the stage at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., on Monday (Jan. 13) to perform her hit before the playoff game between the LA Rams and the Minnesota Vikings. It was so much bigger than me and the song,” she tells Billboard of the moment, which served as a tribute to victims of the fires as well as first responders who are risking their lives to save their city.
