The NFL revealed Tuesday that the 38-year-old Mickey Guyton will sing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVI, live from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Mickey tweeted: “Look at God. I am shook, I am grateful, I am praise dancing… So excited to be singing the national anthem at #SBLVI on February 13th!”

The NFL noted that Guyton will perform the “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the top of the big game; while R&B singer Jhené Aiko will perform “America the Beautiful” during the pre-show telecast, with further sets from Zedd and Mary Mary.
