Alicia Keys delivered a powerful performance during tonight's BETAwards.
"Whether it's spiritual, or the blues, jazz, or hip-hop, music has always been the voice of the Black experience. It speaks to our resilience, our resistance, and even in the messiest of circumstances we find melody," BET Awards Amanda Seales began as she introduced Keys' performance."Tonight, as we revel in Black music, we must also honor the lives of those who have brought us to this moment of consciousness.
Keys initially wrote"Perfect Way to Die" with the deaths of Michael Brown and Sandra Bland in mind, but her performance at the BET Awards paid tribute to many others who had tragically lost their lives, including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. to her fans on June 18 that she has felt"called by music like I never have before.""I have been following its lead. It has led me to the song 'A Perfect Way to Die,'" she wrote on Instagram.
Alicia Keys highlighting the Black women who have died due to racist violence squeezed my heart. Rest in peace to Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Aiyana Stanley Jones, Ranisha McBride, Korryn Gaines, and the many more of us who have been taken away.
