Coco Jones Stuns the Super Bowl Stage With a Performance You Can’t Miss

The Super Bowl is not only the biggest football game of the year—it’s also one of the most-watched cultural events in the world. Alongside the clash between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, millions of viewers will tune in for the pregame performances. This year, Coco Jones will take center stage to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before kickoff at Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, California.

From Disney to Stardom

Coco Jones, 28, is the daughter of former NFL defensive end Mike Jones. She began her career as a child performer with Disney, appearing in Radio Disney competitions and Disney Channel projects. Her breakout role came in the Disney Channel movie Let It Shine, which introduced her to a national audience. As she matured, Jones transitioned into music and acting, building a reputation as a versatile entertainer. Her journey from Disney star to Grammy-winning artist reflects both resilience and talent.

Music Career Milestones

Jones has released six extended plays and her debut studio album Why Not More? in 2025. The album featured 14 tracks, with additional digital bonus songs. Her most popular singles include “ICU,” “ME and You,” and “Until the End of Time.” Her career reached new heights in 2024 when she won her first Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance with “ICU.” She has earned eight Grammy nominations overall and was named Best New Artist at both the BET Awards and Soul Train Music Awards in 2023.

Acting Success

Beyond music, Jones is recognized for her role as Hilary Banks in Peacock’s Bel-Air, a modern reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The show ran for four seasons from 2022 to 2025, and Jones’ performance was widely praised for bringing depth and charisma to the character.

Personal Life

In 2025, Jones became engaged to Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell, confirming their relationship publicly in early 2026. Their engagement quickly became a trending topic across sports and entertainment media.

Cultural Impact of the Performance

Since 2021, the NFL has included “Lift Every Voice and Sing”—often referred to as the Black National Anthem—in its pregame festivities. The song, written in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson, has long symbolized resilience, unity, and hope. Jones’ performance at Super Bowl 60 continues this tradition, highlighting the importance of representation and cultural celebration on one of the world’s biggest stages.
