All three artists had their moment in the spotlight before kickoff during the official Super Bowl LVIII pre-game show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Andra Day kicked things off in the earliest part of the pre-game festivities with a rendition of, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” translated by ASL interpreter, Shaheem Sanchez. The GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter stunned as she hit the high notes with passion and power while accompanied by a 6-person, all-female choir. Day donned a neutral, oversized pantsuit with chunky, gold jewelry. WATCH IT HERE
Immediately following team introductions, Post Malone took the field to sing, “America the Beautiful.” Sporting blue jeans, a brown jacket, bolo tie and of course, his iconic tattoos, Posty delivered a stripped-down rendition of the tune accompanied by only his guitar with his pure vocals and raw talent on full display. His performance was interpreted by Angel Piñero. WATCH IT HERE

Hours before the big game, McEntire took to social media to express her gratitude for being selected to sing the Anthem while reflecting on singing it 50 years ago at the National Finals Rodeo.
“This ain’t my first rodeo,” Reba said referring to her Super Bowl performance. “I’d never have imagined when I sang the anthem at the National Finals Rodeo 50 years ago that I’d be singing it today at the Super Bowl. I’m so honored to be part of this.”
