Charlie Puth, the multiplatinum-selling pop star known for \u201cSee You Again,\u201d \u201cOne Call Away\u201d and other hits, will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl LX at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made by the NFL on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Puth, a New Jersey native who has been nominated for a number of Grammy Awards, follows in the footsteps of such previous Super Bowl national anthem singers as Billy Joel, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Idina Menzel, Reba McEntire and Chris Stapleton.<\/p>\n
Lady Gaga performed the anthem at Super Bowl 50 in 2016, which was the last time the NFL\u2019s championship game was held at Levi\u2019s Stadium.<\/p>\n
The timing of this Super Bowl spotlight works out quite well for 32-year-old Puth, who is set to release a new album \u2014 dubbed \u201cWhatever\u2019s Clever\u201d \u2014 in 2026. It\u2019s his first new studio album since 2022\u2019s \u201cCharlie.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NFL has also announced the performers for the other two big vocal showcases that happen just before the game: the singing of \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d and \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Singer-songwriter Brandi Carlilie, an 11-time Grammy winner who mixes folk, country, rock and other sounds in her songs, will sing \u201cAmerica the Beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coco Jones, the Grammy-winning R&B artist who released the debut album \u201cWhy Not More?\u201d earlier this year, will perform \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing,\u201d a song that is known as the Black national anthem.<\/p>\n
