Los Angeles native Jhené Aiko delivered an understated America the Beautiful in the pre-game. On March 6, 2020, she released her third studio album, Chilombo, which earned her three Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year. Her soft rendition was accompanied by a harpist on an adjacent stage.
