List of national anthem performers at the Super Bowl - wikipedia List of national anthem performers at the Super Bowl Jennifer Hudson sings the national anthem at Super Bowl XLIII. This article is a list of national anthem performers at the Super Bowl. The U.S. national anthem ( `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' ) has been performed at all but one Super Bowl since its first year in 1967 ; Vikki Carr sang `` America the Beautiful '' in place of the anthem at Super Bowl XI in 1977. Since Super Bowl XVI in 1982, famous singers or music groups have performed the anthem at the vast majority of Super Bowl games. Beginning with Super Bowl XLIII in 2009, `` America the Beautiful '' is sung before the national anthem every year. Some early Super Bowls featured marching bands performing the anthem, and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

It was released as a single a few weeks later, appeared on the album Whitney : The Greatest Hits, and was re-released as a single in 2001 shortly after the September 11 attacks. The 1992 performance marked the first time American Sign Language was used alongside the lead singer. Faith Hill performed the anthem at Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000. It became popular in country radio. Following the September 11 attacks, her version entered the country singles chart at number 35, despite not being released as an official single, and reentered the same chart at number 49 in July 2002. At Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014, in an emotional and groundbreaking performance, soprano Renée Fleming became the first opera singer to perform the national anthem, scoring the highest ratings for a Fox Network program in its history, and the second - highest ratings for any television program in history. Controversies Just days after Super Bowl XXV, a report surfaced that Whitney Houston lip synced her performance. It was confirmed that she was actually singing into a dead microphone, but the performance heard in the stadium and on television was prerecorded. Since 1993, the NFL has required performers to supply a backup track. This came after Garth Brooks walked out of the stadium prior to his XXVII performance. Only 45 minutes before kickoff, he refused to take the stage, due to a dispute with NBC. Brooks requested that the network premiere his new music video `` We Shall Be Free '' during the pregame. The network chose not to air the video, due to content some felt was disturbing imagery. Brooks had also refused to pre-record the anthem, which meant the league had nothing to play if he left. Television producers spotted Jon Bon Jovi in the grandstands, and were prepared to use him as a replacement. After last - minute negotiations, NBC agreed to air a clip of the video during the broadcast of the game, and Brooks was coaxed back into the stadium and sang. Following the `` wardrobe malfunction '' controversy during Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, all scheduled performers for Super Bowl XXXIX were chosen under heavy scrutiny. Game organizers decided not to use a popular music vocalist. The combined choirs of the U.S. Military Academy, the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets were invited to perform. This was the first time since the second inauguration of President Richard Nixon in 1973 that all four service academies sang together. Two days after Super Bowl XLIII, it was revealed that Jennifer Hudson also had lip synced. At the beginning of Super Bowl XLV, Christina Aguilera sang the lyrics incorrectly. Instead of singing `` O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming '', the pop star sang `` What so proudly we watched at the twilight 's last gleaming ''. According to the New York Times, she also changed `` gleaming '' to `` reaming ''. Other patriotic performances The Sandy Hook Elementary School Chorus performs at Super Bowl XLVII.
