Tyla was the highlight of Prelude to the Olympics, a star-studded sports-themed event celebrated in Paris, France, last night to kick off the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. The event was held at the Fondation (Foundation) Louis Vuitton.
The 22 year-old Grammy and BET award winner took to the stage in an oversized Louis Vuitton jersey in white, black, yellow, and green, along with spandex shorts and over-the-thigh matching boots with long white laces. Accompanied by two dancers, Tyla surprised guests with her performances of Thata Ahh, Jump, and her signature hit song, Water.
