Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman opened the show at Super Bowl LV with a moving tribute to three honorary captains: U.S. Marine Corps veteran James Martin, ICU nurse manager Suzie Dorner, and Los Angeles teacher Trimaine Davis. Gorman made history reciting her poem “Chorus of the Captains” in a pre-taped segment that aired before the start of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game as the first-ever poet to perform at the Super Bowl — and she’s no stranger to making history. Gorman was also our nation’s first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate, and her performances both at the 2021 inauguration and on today’s show suggest her future will only get brighter. Here are the inspiring words 22-year-old Gorman shared with Super Bowl viewers today.
