Eagles’ Jordan Mailata stuns Philadelphia with We Are the Champions performance at Super Bowl parade

Australian-born Jordan Mailata turned the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl LIX victory parade into his personal concert, belting out Queen's We Are the Champions and sending the Philly crowd into a frenzy.

The 27-year-old offensive tackle, fresh off the Eagles' 40-22 domination over the Kansas City Chiefs, stood shirtless on the open-top parade bus, microphone in hand, and owned every second of it.

"I'm not one for speeches but I know how to sing," Mailata announced, before leading thousands of fans in the iconic anthem.

Philadelphia turned into a sea of green and chaos, with more than a million Eagles fans lining Broad Street from South Philly to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. They came to celebrate, and they got a show—because Jordan Mailata didn’t just show up. He showed out.

The man was everywhere. He ripped off his shirt. He sprayed champagne. He laughed with fans. He sang his heart out. And Philly loved every second.

"This is amazing. I love our fans, I love our city, I love what they're about," Mailata said, fully in his element.

It felt less like a parade, more like a Jordan Mailata concert. And honestly? No complaints.

From The Masked Singer US to the Super Bowl parade—Jordan Mailata proves his talent beyond football

If you’re shocked that Jordan Mailata can sing, you haven’t been paying attention. In 2022, he hit the stage on The Masked Singer US, performing as ‘Thingamabob’ and delivering powerful renditions of Bon Jovi’s Dead or Alive and Ed Sheeran’s Perfect.

"Man, I've been singing all my life," Mailata revealed after his unmasking. "I was a singer before I was any sort of athlete. I played rugby in Australia and decided four years ago to try my hand at the NFL. It ended up paying off. If you want to do something, just do it. Have fun doing it as well."

And now? He’s singing We Are the Champions—because he is one.

Philadelphia Eagles parade chaos: Climbing poles, flying beers, and Howie Roseman bleeding—but nothing stops Philly

This is Philly. It wouldn’t be a parade without a little chaos. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker begged fans to celebrate safely:
"Do not climb any light poles. In the midst of all this beauty, we don't want it to all go by the wayside."

Yeah, that didn’t happen.

Fans scaled poles, traffic lights, and even portable toilets. And things got real when a beer can struck Eagles GM Howie Roseman, cutting his forehead. Roseman, being the absolute Philly legend he is, just lit a victory cigar and said:
"I bleed for this city."
