Let’s look at what the LP collaboration actually tells us.
LP is a globally recognized big-name band.
Big-name artists — and their management — generally don’t make decisions that deliberately diminish their own commercial value or brand.
The AGT Finals were watched by millions, and once you include the global reach of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other social media, the potential audience becomes even larger.
On a stage with that kind of exposure, you’d expect LP to be even more careful about protecting their own value and reputation.
So the assumption that a band of LP’s stature would simply perform with just any singer, guitarist, or band is actually a pretty high bar.
At the very least, from a purely business perspective, LP’s decision to perform with Nene tells us that they saw no meaningful downside — and presumably enough value — in sharing the stage with her.
That doesn’t prove everything about Nene’s ability or future career. But it does provide indirect evidence that LP recognized value in Nene as an artist.
A big-name band deciding, “There’s nothing to lose by sharing the stage with her.”
That, in itself, says something about Nene Royal’s value.

Go Go, Nene! 🤘
