McEntire named to sing national anthem at Super Bowl
Thursday, January 18, 2024 – Reba McEntire will sing the national anthem for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, which was announced today on CBS Mornings.
The Super Bowl will take place at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 11 on CBS. Reba was discovered 50 years ago at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma when she sang the national anthem.
"I'm honored to be part of something as big and historic as the Super Bowl coming to Las Vegas for the first time," McEntire said. "2024 marks 50 years since I was discovered singing the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate that anniversary."
Along with McEntire, pre-game talent for the Super Bowl includes Post Malone and Andra Day with Usher performing at half time.
McEntire recently wrapped her role as coach on Season 24 of NBC's The Voice and is set to return for Season 25.

With "My Chains Are Gone," McEntire gives us a selection of songs she – like Underwood – grew up singing. Therefore, she knows them all like the back of her hand, the way ...
The beauty of Reba McEntire's albums flows from her way with a phrase, knowing when to modulate to carry us deeper into sadness or joy and when to pull back when she wants us to listen quietly to the lessons of a tear falling. Her songs can also urge us to scamper across the dance floor to twin fiddles, celebrating the exhilarating freedom of the moment or the satisfaction of breakup from a messy relationship. This album follows the end of McEntire's marriage to her manager. ...
Reba McEntire's "My Kind of Christmas," is essentially the same album, with the same title, she released a while back through Cracker Barrel.
