Last night, Coco Jones used her moment on one of the world’s biggest stages to honor a legend.
Before the Super Bowl kickoff, the singer took the field to perform Lift Every Voice and Sing, delivering a poised and powerful rendition that immediately set the tone for the evening. But it wasn’t just her vocals that had viewers talking. Fans online were quick to notice that Coco’s all-white ensemble subtly echoed the iconic look Whitney Houston wore during her historic 1991 Super Bowl performance of the national anthem.

The visual callback felt very intentional. Whitney Houston’s 1991 performance is widely regarded as one of the most legendary Super Bowl moments of all time, remembered not only for her vocals but for the cultural weight it carried during a pivotal moment in American history. By referencing that image, Coco Jones placed herself within a lineage of Black women whose presence on that field has shaped how these national moments are remembered.
