Mickey Guyton sang her heart out at Super Bowl LVI [1]. The 38-year-old country singer [2] performed the national anthem at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, on Sunday just minutes before the Los Angeles Rams faced the Cincinnati Bengals. Dressed in a blue belted dress, Guyton didn't miss a beat while unleashing her powerhouse vocals during her highly anticipated performance. Moments after kicking off the Super Bowl, Guyton celebrated the once-in-a-lifetime moment [3] on social media. "Look at God. None of this would be possible without this incredible group of people and community that surrounds me," she captioned an Instagram post featuring a snippet of her national anthem performance. "Thank you for lifting me up and holding me down. Love you all. 💙"

A week ago, Guyton opened up about her then-upcoming Super Bowl debut [4], calling it a "full circle" moment. "The national anthem is my song," she told the LA Times. "The first time I sung it was at a basketball game when I was 13, and I kept my eyes closed the whole time. But then they asked me to sing at every game after that." She added: "It's really going to show people what I can do, and I hope a lot of fans are going to see me differently."

Guyton's Super Bowl [5] performance comes just two months before the 2022 Grammys [6], where she's nominated for three awards. In 2021, Guyton's "Remember Her Name" debut album earned her a Grammy nod for best country album, the first ever for a Black artist [7]. This year, Guyton is up for best country solo performance, best country song, and best country album. Ahead of the April 3 ceremony, check out Guyton's Super Bowl performance ahead.
