The singer for the 2024 Super Bowl national anthem is Reba McEntire, a country singer who has had more than 100 singles on the Billboard Country charts.
Post Malone, Andra Day and Tiesto will also perform at the event.
Will Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl?
This year, the internet has been ablaze with clips of pop sensation Taylor Swift supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite her high-profile appearances, Taylor is currently not expected to perform at the Super Bowl in any capacity. Even a surprise is unlikely, given that she is currently in the middle of her Eras tour and will be performing in Japan until February 10.
The Japanese embassy has allayed Swifties’ concerns by confirming that they should still be able to attend the Super Bowl, even if they take a transatlantic flight the day before.
So while we won’t get any live performances from Taylor Swift, we should still get a glimpse of the current Queen of Pop.
