The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) is excited to announce that extraordinary multi-platinum artist John Legend will perform at the 72nd Annual MISS UNIVERSE competition, November 18 in San Salvador. The EGOT recipient, songwriter, producer and activist will perform on stage as part of this year’s groundbreaking competition, produced by Sergio Alfaro’s InventTV.
Paula Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization and the program’s executive producer, said, “I first met John when he performed at Miss Universe in 2010 with The Roots. I have been a huge fan ever since, both of his music and his charity and social impact work. I know he’ll bring something very special to our stage, and will take the event to a whole new level.”
Legend is a 12-time Grammy Award-winner with roots in soul, R&B, gospel, and pop music. His platinum debut album, Get Lifted, won three Grammy Awards. Since then, he has released eight studio albums and dozens of hit singles, two of which we look forward to hearing at Miss Universe this year.
The 72nd MISS UNIVERSE will take place in El Salvador on November 18th, 2023. The competition, including its live performances, will be streamed on The Roku Channel and broadcast by Telemundo within the United States. Other performers, hosts, backstage correspondents, and the selection committee will be announced shortly.
The Roku Channel is free and easy to watch through Roku devices or TVs, and it’s also easily accessible online at TheRokuChannel.com, iOS and Android devices, Amazon Fire TVs, Samsung TVs and Google TVs, and other Android TV OS devices.
