Reba McEntire will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. The news was announced early Thursday morning (Jan. 18) on CBS Mornings.
Reba’s upcoming performance will mark a significant milestone, completing a full-circle moment that began 50 years ago at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma. It was there that she was discovered while singing the national anthem. This moment marked the start of her iconic career in country music.
A Full-Circle Moment
“I’m honored to be part of something as big and historic as the Super Bowl coming to Las Vegas for the first time,” Reba shared in a statement. “2024 marks 50 years since I was discovered singing the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate that anniversary.”

Several Country Stars Have Performed The National Anthem At The Super Bowl
McEntire is one of several country stars who have had the opportunity to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the big game. Chris Stapleton famously performed the national anthem in 2023, bringing viewers to tears with a rendition that is regarded by many as one of the greatest national anthem performances of all time.
Mickey Guyton performed the national anthem in 2022, Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan in 2021, and Luke Bryan took to the Super Bowl field to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 2017. Before that, country artists who performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl include Carrie Underwood (2010), The Chicks (previously known as the Dixie Chicks) (2003), Faith Hill (2000), Garth Brooks (1993), and Charley Pride (1974).
Who Else Is Performing At The Super Bowl?
McEntire’s performance will take place at Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, Feb. 11. It will air on CBS. In addition to Reba, the pre-game lineup for the Super Bowl features performances by Post Malone and Andra Day. Usher is set to take the stage during the halftime show.
Another Succesful Year
The Oklahoma native’s Super Bowl performance comes on the heels of another wildly successful year for the country superstar and entertainment icon. Last fall, she released a new book and album, both titled, Not That Fancy.
For the album, Reba joined forces with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb to record stripped-down versions of some of her most iconic songs, including “Consider Me Gone,” “Does He Love You,” “I’m A Survivor,” and “Fancy.” The 14-track release also features the emotional new single, “Seven Minutes In Heaven,” which pays homage to Reba’s late mother.

The book, Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating, and Dusting Off Your Boots, is a collection of recipes, lifestyle tips, photos, and personal stories. Upon its release, Not That Fancy topped the The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists.
On the touring front, the Country Music Hall of Famer headlined New York’s Madison Square Garden for the first time ever, marking the exciting grand finale of her Reba: Live In Concert Tour.
Additionally, Reba completed her first season as a coach on NBC’s The Voice and will return for the upcoming season this Spring.
