Next to the halftime performance, Super Bowl's next most-awaited performer reveal is the one who will be singing the National Anthem.

For this year, it will be Grammy nominee Mickey Guyton.

Mickey Guyton, born Candice Mycale Guyton is selected to sing the United States National Anthem at the Super Bowl LVI this February 13, 2022.

The country artist took to Instagram to announce the news that she will be singing, in which she is seen up on her toes in a video that was captured in what seemed to be moments after she was notified.

Brandy is "shook", "grateful", and "praise dancing" to the news as she expressed that she is "excited to be singing the national anthem at #SBLVI on February 13!"

Brandy's prior appearances

However, this is not the first time Mickey Guyton sang the National Anthem in front of a televised audience.

Guyton also sung the national anthem in Washington, D.C., as part of "PBS' National Memorial Day Concert: A Night of Remembrance", which took place on May 30, 2021, in honor of the nation's veterans.

Aside from singing, the "Black Like Me" hitmaker has also been a frequenter on awards shows. Guyton hosted the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards with Keith Urban.

She has also performed her hit "Black Like Me" at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, to which she got her first Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance.

Likewise, Mickey also received the same nomination, Best Country Song and Best Country Album, on the upcoming 64th Annual Grammy Awards in Las Vegas this April 2022.

Super Bowl LVI Performances

The pre-game musical entertainment will also include performances from Jhene Aiko, singing "America The Beautiful" and gospel duo Mary Mary singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing".

Several hip-hop heavyweights are also lined up for the annually anticipated halftime concert.

Roc Nation has teamed up with Pepsi and the NFL to bring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar to the stage together for the first time in a performance broadcast live on ESPN.

The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Los Angeles Rams in the Los Angeles Rams' home stadium in Inglewood, California, in the final game that will be aired on NBC on February 13, 2022.
