Inaugural Post Amanda Gorman’s Glow Up: Set To Perform At Super Bowl, Inks IMG Models Deal, Three Of Her Books Get Million Print Orders

Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman’s glow is mad real! The 22-year-old - the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history – is set to recite an original poem at the Super Bowl, she has signed a contract with IMG Models and she’s set to publish one million copies EACH of her three books under a new deal. Celebrate inside…

Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman is LEVELING UP in a major way.

You’ll recall, the 22-year-old YBF literary star became the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history after she recited an original poem "The Hill We Climb” at President Joe Biden & VP Kamala Harris’ swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol a little over a week ago.

Since then, Amanda – who is also the country’s first National Youth Poet Laureate – has been inking new deals and landing some mega gigs. Literally, in one week she has accomplished some historic feats!

The Los Angeles native has been tapped to recite an original poem at the Super Bowl held in Tampa (Feb. 7th). She’ll pay tribute to three people — educator Trimaine Davis, nurse manager Suzie Dorner and Marine veteran James Martin — for their contributions during the pandemic.

The Harvard grad will be the first poet EVER to perform at the Super Bowl. Woot! 2021 is a year of firsts for her.

There’s more…
