From the Depths of Despair to the Super Bowl
As Fox News reported:
Christian music star Lauren Daigle is celebrating a full-circle moment after being tapped to perform at this year’s Super Bowl.
On Sunday, the 33-year-old singer will join jazz musician Trombone Shorty for a rendition of “America the Beautiful” during the Super Bowl pregame show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Daigle’s performance in NOLA during one of the most-watched TV events in the world comes years after New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell called for her to be removed as a performer when the city hosted Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve Celebration. …
In 2020, Cantrell publicly lambasted Daigle after the two-time Grammy Award winner gave an impromptu performance at an outdoor prayer service, concert and rally hosted by Christian singer and worship leader Sean Feucht.
The event, near New Orleans’ famed Jackson Square in November 2020, was part of Feucht’s “Let Us Worship” tour, which also served as a protest against COVID-19 restrictions on churches.
According to The Times-Picayune, the event drew several hundred attendees, many of whom went mask-less in defiance of local public health orders.
Daigle joins Arroyo Grande for a 70-minute intimate conversation about faith, resilience, and the unexpected ways suffering can shape our purpose. From battling illness as a teenager to finding her voice through hardship, Daigle shares how adversity led her to music, her experience in overcoming fear and anxiety, and the powerful role faith plays in her life. She opens up about performing at the Super Bowl, her journey from rejection on American Idol to multiplatinum-selling success, and why she believes hope is always within reach — even in our darkest moments.
