Super Bowl LX is just moments away between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, but music fans are tuning in for more than just the football. The pregame festivities will feature several iconic musical moments, including a performance of “America the Beautiful” by acclaimed singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile ahead of kickoff.

Brandi Carlile to perform “America the Beautiful”

Brandi Carlile, a decorated singer, songwriter, and multi-award-winning artist, has been selected to perform “America the Beautiful” as part of the pregame entertainment at Super Bowl LX.

The performance will air live ahead of the kickoff from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, complementing a patriotic lineup that also includes Charlie Puth singing the “Star-Spangled Banner” and Coco Jones performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

Carlile’s career spans genres and decades. With 11 Grammy Awards, two Emmy wins, an Oscar nomination, and a #1 New York Times bestselling book to her name, she’s one of music’s most respected modern voices.

Born in Washington state, Carlile grew up in a musical family and eventually carved out a career blending folk, rock, and Americana influences. Her performances are known for emotional depth, rich storytelling, and strong vocal delivery, qualities that make her rendition of “America the Beautiful” particularly meaningful for a national audience. She’s also spoken about how performing “America the Beautiful” resonates personally as more than a showpiece, describing it as a moment of reflection, hope, and unity as the country watches together.

A moment in a star-studded lineup

Carlile’s performance is part of a broader musical showcase before the big game:

• Charlie Puth will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner”, the U.S. national anthem.
• Brandi Carlile will perform “America the Beautiful”.
• Coco Jones will deliver “Lift Every Voice and Sing:, often called the Black National Anthem.
• Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show.
