Heiress Harris, the 10-year-old daughter of rapper T.I. and Tameka Cottle-Harris, absolutely nailed the national anthem before Game 6 of the WNBA Finals on Thursday afternoon. The elementary school student’s stunning performance at State Farm Arena in Atlanta completely owned the pre-game spotlight, even with the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries set for a championship battle.
That Anthem Performance? Yeah, She Crushed It
It was Game 6 of the WNBA Finals. The Atlanta Dream was squaring off against the Golden State Valkyries, live from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. And while the game was happening smack dab in the middle of a school day, the hometown squad still brought in an elementary schooler to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. Turns out, this kid is going to have the ultimate excuse note for missing class. Heiress Harris, whose parents are none other than T.I. and “Tiny” Cottle-Harris, didn’t just sing the anthem. She absolutely, 100 percent nailed it. Seriously, if you missed it, go find the clip. Alison Mastrangelo from WSB put it best, tweeting that Heiress “is sooo talented” after her incredible performance.
This Ain’t Heiress’s First Rodeo in the Spotlight
Look, it’s easy to be shocked by a 10-year-old crushing a national anthem on a national stage. But Heiress Harris is no stranger to the bright lights. Cameras were on her when she was just a tiny kid on the VH1 series “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.” She even rocked the stage with her dad at his 20th anniversary show, singing Rihanna’s part in “Live Your Life.” More recently, she’s been acting on the NBC series “Grosse Pointe Garden Society.” So yeah, this kid’s got a resume. It kinda makes you think she might just get a few more opportunities to skip school in the future, doesn’t it? It’s clear the whole Harris family is locked in with the Dream, too. T.I. himself has been courtside for multiple Dream playoff games, and even performed with Quavo during halftime of Game 3. They’re obviously heavily invested in the Atlanta squad.
Dream Comes Out Firing, What’s Next for Game 6
Talk about getting hyped up! Maybe it was the anthem magic, because the Dream came out of the gate absolutely electric. They jumped out to a 32-15 lead after just the first quarter of Game 6. With the Finals on the line, that kind of start is HUGE. Can they keep that momentum going? We’re all watching to see if the Dream can ride this wave, anthem-powered or not, to victory in Game 6. What a night for Atlanta sports!
