Karol G to headline halftime show during YouTube's first exclusive NFL broadcast, live from Brazil
NEW YORK (AP) — Bringing football fans, Brazil and Karol G together for a one-night experience? That's a winning formula. The Grammy award-winning musician will headline a halftime show during YouTube's first exclusive NFL broadcast next month, which will stream live from Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil on Sept. 5. That's the NFL week 1 matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the reigning AFC-winning Kansas City Chiefs. 'This year has been truly rewarding, and the timing of this opportunity — to be part of such an important moment like YouTube's first-ever NFL live broadcast — is perfect,' the singer shared in an exclusive written statement. 'With my latest album 'Tropicoqueta,' I set out to represent the many facets of my Latin culture, something I'm incredibly passionate about in everything I do. I'm excited to bring that same energy and pride to this global stage and honored to continue elevating Latin culture on such a monumental platform.' It's a natural pairing. Karol G is a global superstar, American football is growing in popularity worldwide, and many of the world's most ardent music fans call Brazil home — it's one of the many reasons 'Come to Brazil' has become a stalwart meme, a three-word stand-in for the ultimate expression of fandom. 'Our goal is to highlight the excitement and Americana of the NFL, but do this thoughtfully in a way that plays to local cultures, practices and traditions,' said Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation and entertainment at the NFL. Booking Karol G 'not only excites our fans and pays homage to their culture in South America, but has an impact on a global scale,' he added. 'We hope all of our fans are ready for a historic celebration.' Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. The game is free to stream for fans across the globe, exclusively through YouTube and YouTube TV. It begins at 5 p.m. Pacific / 8 p.m. Eastern / 9 p.m. BRT (local time).

'To celebrate this moment, we are thrilled that global superstar Karol G will perform during our halftime show,' said Angela Courtin, VP of sports and entertainment marketing at YouTube in a statement.

Create Account The two-time Academy Award-winner tore into the Dallas Cowboys – specifically owner Jerry Jones — during an appearance on ESPN's First Take , saying that the franchise cares more about earning money than trophies. Washington made the comments while promoting his latest movie, Highest 2 Lowes t, with director Spike Lee. The film is the pair's first collaboration since Inside Man in 2006. 'I've been a Cowboys fan since the '60s. He's making it hard for me,' Washington said about Jones. 'Not to be a fan, because I'm still a Cowboys fan. I'm still going to have the star on the side of the hat, but he ain't thinking about us. He's thinking about his pocket.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Washington appeared to be referencing the Cowboys contract standoff with pass rusher Micah Parsons, who is in the final year of his contract and looking for an extension. In fact, the tense negotiations have broken down to the point that the superstar posted a trade request on social media, adding that he 'no longer wants to play for the Dallas Cowboys.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. During negotiations, Jones also appeared to take shots at Parsons through comments to the media. 'There's box office and there's Oscars, Jerry,' Washington said. 'Been a while, huh? Ain't been to the show, you wouldn't know … what it is to win.' Washington added that his critiques of the team only come because of how much he cares for the franchise. 'And I love the Cowboys! I love the Cowboys. Because I really love them, this is why I feel the way I feel,' Washington said. Read More The actor, however, did get in one final shot at Jones when he paraphrased a tagline for his new movie: 'All money ain't good money, Jerry.' While the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since 1995 — and haven't even appeared in a NFC conference championship game since then, either – the franchise remains the most valuable in the world. In fact, it became the first franchise to reach US$10 billion last year. The team also is set to feature in a high-profile Netflix docuseries, America's Team: The Gambler and his Cowboys , which premieres next week on the streaming service.
