"What Are You Gonna Tell Her" Celebrates Female Athletes on ESPY Awards

On July 20th, Mickey Guyton performed our female empowerment anthem “What Are You Gonna Tell Her” live on ABC TV’s 2022 ESPY Awards, celebrating 50 years of Title IX in sports. I was watching from Canada during a summer trip, and wow…it was a beautiful moment.

During the Los Angeles-hosted award show, numerous women athletes took the stage to address the 50th anniversary of the Title IX legislation, which went into effect in 1972 and prohibits sex-based discrimination in any federally funded educational programs.

Mickey’s performance was introduced by legendary tennis player Billie Jean King, and featured additional speeches by athletes Lisa Leslie, Brandi Chastain, Carolyn Peck, Jocelyn Alo, Layshia Clarendon, Chloe Kim, Oksana Masters, Allyson Felix, and Aly Raisman.
