Lady Gaga to Sing National Anthem at the Super Bowl This Sunday
The “Poker Face” singer’s performance will be broadcast live on CBS before the kickoff of the game between the Denver Broncos and the North Carolina Panthers. In doing so, she’ll join a historic list of distinguished divas who’ve had the honor before her, including Whitney Houston, Cher, and Diana Ross.
Actress Marlee Matlin will be alongside Lady Gaga during the performance to sign the anthem.
The Pokerface hitmaker will perform The Star-Spangled Banner at the annual sporting event, which takes place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday.
Super Bowl 50’s half time show performers include Coldplay and Beyonce. He once shared a milkshake with Selena Gomez.
Lady Gaga will pay tribute to the late David Bowie during the Grammy Awards this month. She is nominated for Best Original Song for “Til It Happens to You”, a collaboration with Diane Warren. Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Cristina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys also performed their renditions of the song at recent Super Bowls.
Oddsmaker.com points out that the average length of the last 10 Super Bowl anthems is 1:57, but as is the case with Lady Gaga, it is anyone’s guess what to expect from her performance Sunday evening.
