While the game took place in the middle of the school day, the hometown team still tapped an elementary school kid to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. Turns out the kid is going to have a very good excuse note.
Heiress Harris, the 10-year old daughter of rapper T.I. and wife Tameka Cottle-Harris, better known as "Tiny," absolutely nailed the anthem before the game.

Heiress is not new to the spotlight. Cameras were in the house when she was a small child on the VH1 series "T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle." She joined her dad on-stage for his 20th anniversary show to sign Rihanna's part in "Live Your Life," and most recently acted on the NBC series "Grosse Pointe Garden Society." Something about this suggests she might have more opportunities to skip school in the future. And if the principal has a problem with that they can talk to whoever the next commissioner of the WNBA is.

T.I. has been courtside for multiple Dream playoff games. The Atlanta native also performed with Quavo during halftime of Game 3. The Harris family and Atlanta music scene is obviously heavily invested in the Dream.
And the Dream seem to have responded in Game 6, jumping out to a 32-15 lead after the first quarter.
