Tyla’s national anthem performance faces criticism
In other news about Tyla, her fans voiced their displeasure after she sang the national anthem, but many felt sidelined as they could not see her. According to Briefly News, the cameras primarily focused on other individuals and the choir singing alongside her, leaving Tyla visible for only a brief moment at the end of her performance.
