"Puth, a New Jersey native who has been nominated for a number of Grammy Awards, follows in the footsteps of such previous Super Bowl national anthem singers as Billy Joel, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Idina Menzel, Reba McEntire and Chris Stapleton. Lady Gaga performed the anthem at Super Bowl X in 2016, which was the last time the NFL's championship game was held at Levi's Stadium."
"The timing of this Super Bowl spotlight works out quite well for 32-year-old Puth, who is set to release a new album dubbed Whatever's Clever in 2026. It's his first new studio album since 2022's Charlie. The NFL has also announced the performers for the other two big vocal showcases that happen just before the game: the singing of America the Beautiful and Lift Every Voice and Sing."
Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl XL at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8. Puth is a multiplatinum-selling pop star known for See You Again and One Call Away and has received Grammy nominations. Puth will release a new album, Whatever's Clever, in 2026, his first studio album since 2022's Charlie. Brandi Carlile will sing America the Beautiful and will later perform at Chase Center in San Francisco on March 6. Coco Jones will perform Lift Every Voice and Sing and released the debut album Why Not More? earlier this year. Past Super Bowl national anthem performers include Billy Joel, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Idina Menzel, Reba McEntire and Chris Stapleton.
