Didi Benami fulfilled one of her long time dreams to open for a professional basketball game singing the national Anthem.
On Monday, March 21 -she was in Cleveland, Ohio at the NBA Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game and sang the “Star-Spangled Banner” at Quicken Loans Arena (originally Gund Arena and commonly The Q), the home court of the Cavaliers.
Didi was in high spirits as she tweeted fans about the experience and sharing some photos!
“CLEVELAND WAS SO FUN! Thank you Cavs…Thank you Magic… Orlando… Thank you Chris and every kind of magic… you rock much love!”
“Thank you for having me Cleveland, it was amazing to see you again! Xo”
