Tyla Hosts Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

The event, known for its vibrant energy and green slime antics, took place in Santa Monica, California. The Nickelodeon show, originally launched in 1987 as Nickelodeon's Big Ballot, features fun categories like Fan Favorite Kids' Creator, Favorite Butt-Kicker, Favorite Cartoon, and more. Tyla delivered a stellar opening performance with an ensemble of dancers for a lively Best of Summer dance, where she featured the hottest tracks of the season, supported by DJ Benny Blanco.

The South African native served style all night, rocking up to five stunning outfits curated by celebrity stylist Law Roach, who also styled her unforgettable Met Gala look. Her wardrobe included a sunset-toned mini dress and her go-to denim shorts. She completed the look with side-swept cornrows that effortlessly framed her face.

Alongside lighting up the night with her infectious energy and crowd engagement, Tyla snagged a win of her own—Kid Choice's Favourite Global Music Star. "This means the world to me—to represent Africa on a global stage and be recognized by all you amazing kids out there", she stated in her acceptance speech.

This award adds to her growing collection of more than 30 international accolades. Tyla described the opportunity to host the high-profile event as a full-circle moment.
