While the halftime show of the Super Bowl hasn’t been country for many years, the National Anthem has a better track record. Eric Church teamed up with Jazmine Sullivan last year for a unique performance.
This year, a country artist has once again been tapped to kick off the show—Mickey Guyton.
Guyton told Rolling Stone she was inspired to become a country artist after seeing LeAnn Rimes sing the anthem at a baseball game. Rimes responded to the Super Bowl news by saying, “There’s no one I’d rather hear sing it!”
