The Emmy-winning actress from 'Abbott Elementary' is the first person to perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing” live inside of a stadium for Super Bowl Sunday.
That sentiment has been echoed by many since she arrived in Arizona. Ralph has been the talk of a pregame lineup loaded with talent, from R&B legend Babyface performing “America the Beautiful,” to country star Chris Stapleton singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”After working nearly a half-century in Hollywood, Ralph, 66, is in the middle of a dream run. Ralph used to be largely known for her Tony-nominated portrayal of Deena Jones in the original Broadway version of “Dreamgirls.
“I got to tell you, in so many ways, all of this has been unbelievable,” Ralph said. “If none of this would have happened, you could have easily said, ‘She’s had a great career.’ But with all of this happening, it is phenomenal, unexpected, out of this world.
Ralph has also earned praise for her tear-jerking remarks during her acceptance speeches, such as her career-defining win at the Emmys: “I am a woman, I am an artist, and I know where my voice belongs!” She’s also been celebrated for her lack of filter, like when she said in January that she would tell her younger self to embrace her beauty and to know “there will be some people called Kardashians and they will pay $10,000 for your lips.”
