    AceShowbiz – Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan made a historical national anthem performance at the Super Bowl LV. The two singers paired up as the first duet to sing “The Star Spangled Banner” at the big game in over a decade.
    The country music singer and the R&B star, who are both multiple Grammy-nominated artists, blended their vocals beautifully as they sang in Tampa at the Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, February 7, before Tampa Bay Buccaneers took on the Kansas City Chiefs. The “Need U Bad” songstress stood front and center while the “How ‘Bout You” hitmaker was right behind her.
    Church kicked off the performance, strumming his guitar and showed off his raspy vocals. Sullivan later joined in, with her raspy, but also heavy and rich vocals. They finished the song singing together, showing their perfect teamwork, while most players were standing, wearing masks with a hand over their heart.

    The last time a duet performed national anthem at the Super Bowl was when Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville joined forces to sing “The Star Spangled Banner” in 2006. They were joined by Dr. John on the piano as they sang at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, before the game between Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers.
    Also performing before the kickoff of Super Bowl LV was H.E.R.. The Grammy-winning singer delivered a powerful rendition of “America the Beautiful” from an elevated platform near the stands while strumming her guitar.
    Giving it her own unique spins, the “I Can’t Breathe” singer slowed down the tempo of what is normally a pretty high energy song. Her performance was soulful, while also giving major rock vibes, which brought the audience to their feet.

    The Weeknd will later perform the halftime show. The performance will be “roughly 12-13 minutes long” and the “Starboy” singer will perform on the stage built within the stadium for the safety of workers and players amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

      When speaking about his upcoming Super Bowl LV collaboration with the RnB singer, the ‘Record Year’ hitmaker admits he initially came close to turning down the offer.

      Jan 29, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Country star Eric Church reneged on a vow never to sing the U.S. National Anthem in public in order to score a Super Bowl duet with R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan.
      The “Record Year” hitmaker admits he was always nervous to tackle “The Star-Spangled Banner” because he doesn’t think he has the vocal ability to pull off the tune, but after hearing Sullivan sing, he jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with her.
      In an interview on Apple Music Country, Church admits he came close to turning down the Super Bowl invite.
      “Let me tell you something. She may be the best singer. I was floored,” he gushed in the chat, which is set to premiere on Friday, January 29.
      “And you know what, the best thing about this, no matter what happens, because that’s a nervy thing that we got to do, but what a fan, I’m a fan (of Sullivan’s). I’ve went in and listened to everything she did (sic). And I had heard her name, but full disclosure, I had not listened (to her songs).”

      The unlikely duo, which has yet to meet, was suggested by producer Adam Blackstone, and prior to hearing Sullivan’s work, Church wasn’t that keen, reports People.com.
      “Here’s what I said… I’ve said this forever, ‘I will never ever sing the national anthem.’ It’s so hard. Except (for) the Super Bowl…,” he shared. “I mean, I’m not Chris Stapleton. I fully assumed they’re never going to ask me. So, this is the first.”
      “My first response was, ‘Mm-mm. I’m a stylist, not a vocalist,’ ” he added. “I heard it (duet proposal) and I thought, ‘That’s cool, that sounds like me.’ And then I heard her (Sullivan) and I’m not missing a chance to sing with her. And that was it.”
      “Once I heard her voice, I said, ‘OK, I’m in.’ ”
      The duet partners will be hitting the stage together in Tampa, Florida on 7 February, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs for the Super Bowl title.

      The Weeknd will be performing the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
