The Grammy-nominated singer performed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 11, 2026, becoming the first African artist to headline an NFL international game halftime show.
Ayra Starr entertained spectators with a selection of songs, including Heaven Baby, Santa, Rush, Hot Body and Dangerous. The set featured music from different stages of her career, including her album Starrgirl, released in August 2026.
The performance was part of the NFL’s expanded international entertainment programme for the 2026 season, which features seven halftime shows across international games in seven countries and four continents.
The NFL had announced Ayra Starr as the headline performer for the London game in August, highlighting her growing international profile and the global appeal of Afrobeats.
Meanwhile, the game ended in a dramatic fashion, with the Jacksonville Jaguars securing a 19–17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles after kicker Cam Little converted a 57-yard field goal with one second remaining.
