Nezza, a singer and social media personality, performed a Spanish version of the national anthem at Dodger Stadium after being advised to sing in English. Her act, which became a symbol of cultural representation, occurred during widespread protests against President Trump and recent ICE raids. Despite prior communications with the team, Nezza believed she could sing in Spanish. The performance went viral, showcasing the intersection of art, protest, and social identity, and igniting a national discussion on language and patriotism.
With everything that's been happening, I just felt like I needed to stand with my people and show them that I'm with them. I wanted to represent them that day.
Nezza asked if she could sing the anthem in both English and Spanish, but was told no because she would have only a 90-second window for her performance.
