The Super Bowl is shaping up to be quite the affair, people. The NFL surprised fans when it announced Rihanna as the halftime performer—and now, it looks like the league has even more surprises in store. This morning, we saw the announcement of the full entertainment lineup for the event, which will go down on February 12 in Glendale, AZ. Honestly, the Super Bowl might have to rebrand as a nationwide concert. If you’re wondering what celebrities you’ll see on the big day, look no further. Below, we’ve broken down each performance we'll see at Super Bowl LVII.
Troy Kotsur and Chris Stapleton Will Sing “The National Anthem”
Country singer Chris Stapleton and Coda actor Troy Kotsur will join forces to perform "The National Anthem." Kotsur will sign the lyrics while Stapelton sings them. Kotsur is from Arizona, making him the second person from a city hosting the Super Bowl to sign "The National Anthem."
Nikki Soukup, of the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing, released a statement celebrating Kotsur's performance. “This is the first time that someone from this community is singing 'The National Anthem,' and it’s an amazing point of pride,” she signed. “If deaf performers are shown on screen and captioning, that would provide the most inclusive and accessible experience in any Super Bowl yet.”
Sheryl Lee Ralph and Justina MIles Will Sing “Lift Every Voice & Sing”
Ms. Barbara’s singing at the Super Bowl! That's right: The Abbot Elementary star will perform “Lift Every Voice & Sing.” She'll sing alongside Justina Miles, who will sign the song.
Babyface & Colin Denny Will Sing “America the Beautiful”
R&B legend Babyface will sing “America the Beautiful,” while Colin Denny signs. In an interview with TMZ Hip Hop, Babyface said he wasn’t expecting to be chosen for the job. “I never saw this one coming and it’s great,” he said. “It’s an honor to do it, I’m honored that I got the call.” The singer also noted that he’s a big fan of the song, and is excited to give it his own spin. “It’s one of my favorites, ‘America The Beautiful.’ It’s a really beautiful song,” he said. “Between that and, say, 'The Star Spangled Banner,' ‘America The Beautiful,’ that melody fits me a lot more.”
Jay-Z is Producing the Halftime Show
Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is producing the halftime show for the fourth year in a row. If we’re lucky, he might hop on stage to sing “Run This Town” with Rihanna.
