The NFL announced that Puth will sing the national anthem, Carlile will perform 'America the Beautiful', and Jones will sing 'Lift Every Voice and Sing'. "Super Bowl Sunday is the world's biggest entertainment stage," said Jon Barker, NFL senior vice president of event production.

"Beyond the game itself, the Super Bowl is a global celebration," he added. "We're proud to spotlight artists who embody the very best of music and culture. These artists bring a distinct voice to the moment, helping set the tone for a day that will captivate fans worldwide." Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, called the trio "generational talents" who will be joined by deaf performers during the songs. Deaf music artist Fred Beam will perform 'The Star-Spangled Banner' and 'Lift Every Voice and Sing', while Julian Ortiz will deliver 'America the Beautiful'.

Deaf performer Celimar Rivera Cosme of Puerto Rico will participate in a multilingual signing programme, a first for the NFL halftime show. Carlile, 44, is an 11-time Grammy winner, two-time Emmy winner, Oscar nominee, and New York Times best-selling author. Her eighth studio album, 'Returning to Myself', was released in October.
