Days before her performance, the songstress (née Gabi Wilson) opened up about her anticipation and how incredibly proud she feels to have earned the esteemed spot in front of such a massive audience.

"The No. 1 thing I think about a lot is the fact that I'm a young Black girl from the Bay area that never imagined that I would be on a stage like that," she told Entertainment Tonight. "I think it's a message to other young Black women that you can do it too. There's nothing that you can't do. Reach for the stars."

"I am so excited to be performing at the Super Bowl," she told the outlet. "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."
