INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Natalie Grant, a nine-time Grammy nominee and five-time GMA Dove Awards Female Vocalist of the Year, will perform the national anthem Sunday before the Indianapolis 500.“Natalie’s emotional and stirring rendition of the national anthem in front of the grandstand sellout crowd will be an unforgettable moment during pre-race ceremonies for the Indy 500,” IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Doug Boles said Wednesday. “The national anthem pays honor to the country we love and gets us one step closer to the final, dramatic and electric moments leading up to the start of the Indianapolis 500.”Grant’s most recent project “Seasons” debuted at #1 on the Christian Billboard charts and featured cross-genre collaborations that included Mary Mary, CeCe Winans, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Jonathan McReynolds and others. Her single “Step By Step” — a Whitney Houston cover featuring Dolly Parton — went Top 10 at Mainstream AC Radio.

She’s more than justis officially married.

The musician-actor, 32, tied the knot with Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, 34, on Sunday in California, as first exclusively

The couple met while working on Lovato’s last album, 2022’s “Holy Fvck,” and dated for nearly two years before Lutes proposed in December 2023. Lutes co-wrote a few of the songs that made “Holy Fvck,” including “Happy Ending,” “City of Angels,” and the pop-punk single, “Substance.”It was once widely accepted that the most successful Eurovision songs were in English, but that is changing. This year’s contest features songs in a record 20 languages, including Ukrainian, Icelandic, Latvian, Maltese and Armenian.

Vuletic said viewers these days want “more authenticity in Eurovision entries.“They don’t just want a standard pop song sung in English,” he said. “They want to also see something about the culture of the country that the song represents.”

Once all the acts have performed in the final, the winner is chosen by a famously complex mix of phone and online voters from around the world and rankings by music-industry juries in each of the Eurovision countries. As the results are announced, countries slide up and down the rankings and tensions build.Ending up with “nul points,” or zero, is considered a national humiliation.
