Super Bowl LIX is just around the corner, and that means fans will be incredibly upset and happy when they hear the words “Black National Anthem.”
Millions of people will be tuning in for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9, but football isn’t the only thing that will be happening inside the Caesars Superdome.
As we head into Super Bowl Sunday, the attention has shifted to the music side of things.
Pulitzer Prize-winning hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar is set to take the field at halftime, but there will also be singing before the game begins.
Music’s biggest stage will also feature award-winning artists performing the national anthem, “America the Beautiful,” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the Black national anthem.
Jon Batiste will sing the national anthem, while Trombone Shorty and Christian singer Lauren Daigle will collaborate for “America the Beautiful.”
Ledisi will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
Powerful: The NFL has announced that the black national anthem will be performed at this year's Super Bowl.

“Yet another reason not to watch. I’m tired of the NFL being rigged and forcing social agendas. I like to watch football for football, not brainwashing. We have but one National Anthem,” another fan stated.

“I was on the fence about watching this year. I’m fully off the fence now. Done with the nonsense,” one irate fan added.
