We’ve known for some time that Lady Gaga will do the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl, but on Sunday we found out Luke Bryan is to sing the national anthem.
You’ll be able to watch the country star’s performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” live from Houston’s NRG Stadium on Feb. 5 on Fox, just before the Atlanta Falcons take on the New England Patriots. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. ET.
