The WNBA confirmed Tyla takes the stage on Saturday, July 25, at Chicago’s United Center. The halftime show airs live on ABC and Disney+ alongside the All Star Game itself, giving Tyla a massive platform in front of both basketball fans and music lovers at the same time.
“I’m honored to be a part of the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game this year,” Tyla said. “These athletes bring so much power and heart to what they do, and I’m excited to share the stage and bring A*POP to my supporters.” Her excitement mirrors the growing buzz around her long-anticipated sophomore album.

Meanwhile, Tyla is also celebrating a new Bratz doll collaboration inspired by her 2024 Met Gala Balmain look and her signature stage style.
