Demi Lovato [1] has taken on one of the most vocally demanding gigs in the business. A week after performing her new single [2], "Anyone," at the Grammy Awards, the 27-year-old singer nailed the national anthem at the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami on Feb. 2. Lovato follows Gladys Knight [3], who sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" last year, while Chloe and Halle Bailey [4] delivered an ethereal performance [5] of "America the Beautiful."
The Super Bowl wasn't Lovato's first time performing the national anthem: she previously performed it during the 2015 World Series, and again at the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor boxing match in 2017. It did, however, mark a significant moment for Lovato [6], who has made an inspiring comeback since her hospitalization from an apparent overdose in 2018 [7].
The big game certainly isn't lacking in stars, with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira performing the coveted halftime show [8]. Perhaps Lovato will join them on stage? Hey, crazier things have happened. (Lest we forget last year's SpongeBob SquarePants moment [9].) Check out Lovato's performance ahead, plus her Super Bowl announcement, and then enjoy her national anthem performance from 2015.
