Amanda Gorman captured the nation’s attention at the Inauguration and she did it again at the Super Bowl. The 22-year-old was the first poet to perform at the event.

CBS explains:

Gorman’s poem, “Chorus of the Captains,” celebrated and introduced the three honorary captains — Pittsburgh-based Marine veteran James Martin, who volunteers with the Wounded Warrior Project and works with at-risk kids, Los Angeles educator Trimaine Davis and Tampa ICU nurse manager Suzie Dorner — who were specially invited to the game by the NFL.

Gorman tweeted, “I also can’t reiterate how exciting it is for me that others are excited to see poetry at a football game. What a time to be alive.”

I didn't even need to check this morning to see who won the superbowl–I know it was @TheAmandaGorman! #poetry
