Chloe x Halle kicked off the NFL season by performing the National Anthem for the first game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans on Thursday night (September 10).
The sisters pre-recorded their performance at the empty Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in California.
For the performance of the Star-Spangled Banner, Chloe and Halle honored George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by wearing their faces on their shirts. At the end of the song, the girls raised their fists in the air.
Halle‘s shirt had George Floyd on it and above his photo, it said “Rest In Power.” Chloe wore Breonna Taylor on her shirt, and above the photo, it read, “Say Her Name.”
In case you missed it, see what Halle said about how Chloe helped boost her confidence to do The Little Mermaid.
The sister duo opened up in their new Cosmopolitan cover interview.
“Whenever we’re apart, I feel like my right arm is missing,” Halle said. “I say this all the time: I’m not sure what I would do if I was by myself going through this whole thing.”
“You are so nice!” Chloe responded.
“But it’s true. Whenever individual opportunities come, it’s exciting because when one of us wins, the other one does too,” Halle added.
Speaking about individual projects, Chloe actually went to stay with Halle in London for a little bit to “help ease her younger sister into being away from home” while she worked on The Little Mermaid. Unfortunately, production got shut down right before filming started due to the pandemic.
Halle dished that having her sister’s support really helped her confidence in doing such a big project.

If you didn’t know, the Hamilton creator is actually involved in the movie – he’s co-writing four new songs with composer Alan Menken.
In a recent interview, Lin-Manuel opened up about Halle, who will of course be playing the lead role, Ariel.
“Halle Bailey is going to be such an incredible Ariel,” he told ET‘s Keltie Knight. “And getting to write music for these characters that are probably the reason I started writing musicals in the first place, it was actually easier than I thought.”
“But the hardest part was my own intimidation working with Alan Menken and that was entirely self-imposed,” Lin-Manuel added. “But when it came to how these characters speak and what they say, I’ve known that all my life. So that was a joy.”
The video started with a watch warning, which said, “The following fiction has been approved for appropriate audiences. Ungodly Hour album out now on all streaming platforms.”
Chloe x Halle recently opened up about working with Beyoncé and getting her input. If you didn’t know, the girls are signed to Bey‘s Parkwood Entertainment label.
“We were of course very shocked, very mind-blown, because she (Beyoncé) has always been an inspiration to us… We are just so grateful to be in a position to have her advice and feedback on things that we do. But also, at the same time allow us to thrive and grow on our own,” Halle told Radio.com.
Chloe x Halle have released their new album Ungodly Hour and it’s so good!
The album was delayed by a week out of respect for the Black Lives Matter movement and you can now listen to it right here.
Chloe revealed that the title for the album came about after they worked with Disclosure.
“We wrote this song [the title track “Ungodly Hour”] with Disclosure, and we had the best time. I forgot what I was watching, but I heard the phrase ‘ungodly hour’ and wrote it in my notes. [It] kind of stuck out to all of us, and we were like, ‘What can you say with this?’ We all came up with this sentence: ‘Love me at the ungodly hour,’ which means love me when I’m at my worst; love me when I’m not all dolled up and made up. Love me when all my insecurities are out on the table,” she told Teen Vogue.
You can download the album now on iTunes or stream it below on Spotify.
