It was just announced that Mickey Guyton will be singing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVI, where the Los Angeles Rams will be facing the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium on February 13th.
Guyton, whose debut album Remember Her Name dropped in 2021, is the first-ever Black artist nominated for best country album at the Grammys.
“👏🏾Look👏🏾at👏🏾God,” Guyton wrote on Twitter. “I am shook, I am grateful, I am praise dancing…So excited to be singing the national anthem at #SBLVI on February 13th! @nfl @nbcsports.”
The NFL also revealed that Jhené Aiko, a six-time Grammy-nominee, will sing “America the Beautiful,” and Mary Mary, the award-winning Gospel sister duo of Erica and Tina Campbell, will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a hymn known as the Black National Anthem.
The previously announced and highly-anticipated halftime show will include performances from Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar.
