Chris Stapleton will perform the national anthem at this year’s Super Bowl, the NFL announced Tuesday.
The country music star will be part of a pregame lineup that includes R&B legend Babyface performing “America the Beautiful” and Emmy-winning “Abbott Elementary” actress Sheryl Lee Ralph singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
The 44-year-old Stapleton has won eight Grammy Awards, 15 CMA awards — including male vocalist of the year in 2021 — and 10 ACM awards in his career and is known for songs like “Tennessee Whiskey” and “You Should Probably Leave.”
“You was made for this moment and I can’t wait to watch,” Mickey Guyton, who sang the national anthem at last year’s game, wrote on Stapleton’s Instagram. “Enjoy every minute and don’t forget to breathe.”
