Anitta performs in Brazil at the halftime show of the Green Bay Packers and Eagles

Who will be the halftime reporter at the Green Bay Packers game in Brazil on Friday?

Brazilian pop-funk superstar Anitta was announced by the NFL last month.

In a Billboard report, Seth Dudowsky, the NFL's music chief, said the organization wanted to create a “spectacle” that “matches the level of quality expected from an NFL event” while also taking into account the culture of each venue.

“The most authentic way to do that is to work with artists and performers who come from those places,” he told Billboard. “Artists who were not only a face of Brazilian music and what it represents around the world, but also an icon in America. … When we talked about artists we wanted to work with, Anitta was at the top of the list.”

The league's first game in South America will take place on Friday when the Pack takes on the Philadelphia Eagles, which will also be the opening game of the 2024 regular season for both teams.

However, her music video for “Aceita” from that album drew heavy criticism for addressing ongoing religious intolerance and racism in Brazil, reported the New York Times.
