South African-born superstar Tyla's World Cup story has reached an even bigger chapter.

The Los Angeles festivities featured a star-studded line-up of international performers, including Katy Perry, LISA, Anitta and Rema, with Tyla and Future taking centre stage to perform their World Cup anthem, "Game Time". The performance marked yet another milestone in Tyla's meteoric rise from Johannesburg talent to global pop sensation.
