As multi-platinum artist Demi Lovato sang the final words of the Star-Spangled Banner to open Super Bowl LIV, an enormous sound could be heard as Marine Corps fighter jets flew over the stadium in Miami, Florida. It was a spectacular finish to Lovato’s performance of the national anthem at one of the world’s most watched events.

It was also the culmination of a longtime dream for Lovato, who had tweeted on Feb. 7, 2010, “One day, I’m gonna sing the national anthem at a super bowl.” Before she took to the stage, Lovato took a moment to acknowledge how excited she was on Instagram, “Dreams really do come true y’all.”
