Music superstars who have sung the national anthem in the past at the Super Bowl include Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston. This year’s Super Bowl will also see another superstar, Beyonce. The singer will be performing at the halftime show. She also sang the national anthem back in 2004 in Houston.
One of the most talked-about national anthem performances happened in 2011 in Dallas, when Christina Aguilera got her lyrics mixed up.
