Demi Lovato’s rousing rendition of the national anthem had practically everyone thrilled at Miami Gardens’ Hard Rock Stadium before Super Bowl LIV. However, there was a sub-story to the performance as TMZ reports Jay-Z, Beyonce and their daughter Blue Ivy chose to sit through it.
The Carters were sitting together a few rows back from the field, and they clearly didn’t make an effort to get up during Demi Lovato’s performance. A guy who appears to be a bodyguard of theirs was standing though, as was pretty much everyone else around them …
It’s interesting, of course, because Jay has teamed up with the NFL to shine a light on police brutality, the criminal justice system and other causes important to him and the black community. He’s also heading up their entertainment arm these days for more diversity.
And, just on Saturday, he doubled down on his efforts with the NFL … insisting he hadn’t betrayed Colin Kaepernick and was getting to the same destination on a different route.
