Barack Obama features Tyla’s ‘She Did It Again’ on his summer 2026 tracklist

Tyla, South Africa's rising star, secures her place on Barack Obama's Summer 2026 playlist with her hit 'She Did It Again'.

Let’s be honest: at this point, checking your phone to see South Africa's golden girl winning yet another global accolade is just a standard morning routine.

Just weeks after releasing her highly anticipated new album, "A*POP", Grammy-winning singer Tyla has landed on one of music's most talked-about annual tracklists.

Former US President Barack Obama has included her collaboration with Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, "She Did It Again", on his Summer 2026 playlist, placing the Johannesburg-born superstar alongside music legends and today's biggest hitmakers.

For South Africans, it feels like yet another reminder that Tyla isn't simply having a viral moment. She's building a legacy.
