Toronto, CA – Jessie Reyez kicked off Game 1 of the Toronto Raptors versus Brooklyn Nets series with special versions of the United States and Canada’s national anthems. As part of the 2020 NBA Playoffs coverage, she performed both songs from the top of Toronto’s CN Tower in a scene reminiscent of Drake’s Views album cover.
Reyez pulled off the real-life version of Drake’s artwork by singing on the CN Tower’s EdgeWalk, which is 116 stories above the ground. The Universal Music Group singer, who wore a mask paying tribute to the late Breonna Taylor, became the first artist to ever perform the anthems from atop the Tower in doing so.
