For the final presentation of the BET 2020 Awards on Sunday (June 28), gospel star Kierra Sheard She took the stage with her mother Karen Clark-Sheard (of The Clark Sisters) to drive the audience away with a moment of hope.
The duo performed Kierra’s song “Something Has to Break”, a passionate hymn from their latest self-titled album, where the singer pleads with God for a sense of relief or solution during difficult times. “Knock down every lie / correct the wrong,” he sang. “Because when you have your way / Something has to be broken.”
Both Karen and Kierra appeared on a brightly lit stage, dressed in sparkling black dresses, with a backing choir similarly dressed in black, punctuating each of their words. The powerful performance even included an impromptu coda, with the mother-daughter duo singing powerfully back and forth, before Kierra closed the performance with a final plea: “Speak up and say you’re breaking up.”
The evangelical number ended a night of massive performances at the BET Awards, including those by stars like Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Megan Thee Stallion and many more.
