Hey everyone, get ready for some major excitement this Sunday, February 11th! It's the big showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers at the 2024 Super Bowl. And guess who's going to kick off the game in style? None other than the legendary country music icon, Reba McEntire, with her rendition of the national anthem!

Reba's no stranger to the anthem game. Would you believe it all began for her 50 years ago at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma? That's where she first caught the spotlight with her powerful rendition of the anthem. Since then, she's been gracing audiences with her patriotic performances, but this Super Bowl marks a special milestone for her – it's her debut on this iconic stage!
When the news broke that Reba would be performing, she was thrilled beyond measure. She expressed her gratitude at being part of such a historic event, especially as it's the first-ever Super Bowl to take place in Las Vegas. Can you imagine the energy and excitement surrounding this monumental occasion?
During an interview on "CBS Mornings" in January, Reba gave us a glimpse into her preparation process. Turns out, she's approaching it just like she would for one of her concerts – warming up her vocals and running through the anthem several times to ensure it's pitch-perfect. Sounds like she's got it all under control!
Interestingly, the opportunity to sing at the Super Bowl wasn't initially a slam dunk for Reba. When her manager first approached her about it, she took a moment to consider. But with the enthusiastic support of her boyfriend, Rex Linn, who happens to be a huge football fan, she was all in! Talk about a power couple backing her up!
But wait, there's more to look forward to! Not only will Reba be setting the stage for the game, but Post Malone will also be delivering a soulful rendition of "America the Beautiful," while Andra Day will uplift us with "Lift Every Voice and Sing" during the pregame festivities. And let's not forget the halftime show, where Usher will be taking center stage to dazzle us all!
Remember the goosebumps we got last year when Chris Stapleton nailed the anthem? Well, this year's lineup promises to keep that Super Bowl tradition alive and kicking!
So mark your calendars, folks! Super Bowl LVIII will be airing on CBS, Nickelodeon, and Paramount+ live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET, and trust me, you won't want to miss a single moment of this epic event!
