According to News24 Tyla previously became the youngest South African to make the US Billboard Hot 100 with her global chart-topper Water.
It was the first time in 55 years, since Hugh Masekela’s Grazing in the Grass in 1968, that a solo song by a South African musician made it onto the chart.
After watching her performance, social media is convinced she has the ‘It factor”.

This is a novelty we haven’t seen in a while. So many acts that blow up overnight and don’t know how to perform live and we must show them grace cause they just got here. Tyla said y’all be safe.
