Super Bowl LVI has already proved to be one of the most entertaining nights of the year! With Jhené Aiko singing “America the Beautiful,” Mickey Guyton doing the national anthem and Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and Mary J. Blige tackling the halftime show, the event is so much more than a football game.
In between watching Joe Burrow and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals face off against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams, why not look back at the greatest renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in honor of the nation’s biggest sports competition of the season?
Country crooners such as Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood both wowed the crowd with their national anthem performances in 2017 and 2010, respectively, while Kelly Clarkson killed it in 2012.
Then, of course, there’s Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and the late Whitney Houston, who all top the list with their flawless versions of the tune throughout the years.
Watch (and, more importantly, listen to) all of those and more of the best Super Bowl national anthem performances in the video above!
Super Bowl LVI airs on NBC Sunday, February 13, at 6:30 p.m. ET.
