Mickey Guyton is already considered a household name within the country music industry. The multi-Grammy nominated singer became the first Black artist nominated for best country album for her debut release “Remember Her Name.”
A native of Texas, Guyton took to SoFi Stadium in Southern California to sing the national anthem in the leadup to Super Bowl LVI between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams.
To say she dominated on the grandest of stages would be an understatement. Guyton showed her range and hit on all the key notes — bringing back memories of some of the greatest Super Bowl renditions in history. Check it out.

Back in January of 1991, Whitney Houston delivered what is considered the best iteration of the national anthem ahead of Super Bowl XXV between the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills. The performance came in Florida with the Desert Storm war in Iraq acting as a backdrop.
Some will argue that Jennifer Hudson’s rendition ahead of Super Bowl XLIII in February of 2009 rivaled what Houston brought to the table. Others will point to Beyoncé’s performance ahead of Super Bowl XXXVIII back in February of 2004.
Either way, those watching Guyton belt it inside SoFi Stadium in Southern California Sunday afternoon were not disappointed.
Mickey Guyton nailed that performance. #SuperBowl
