MICKEY GUYTON WILL HAVE A

Artist: Mickey Guyton

Mickey Guyton is experiencing a “full circle” moment as she gets ready to perform the National Anthem at Sunday’s Super Bowl.

“When I got the call asking if I would sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, that was the last thing that I ever thought I would ever hear in my lifetime, and here I am getting to sing the National Anthem and getting to be on a list of great singers who have sang it,” she says. “This is such a full circle moment for me. I wanted to become a singer after I saw LeAnn Rimes sing the National Anthem at a Texas Rangers baseball game, and here I am as a grown woman that’s going to be standing on that field singing this song, and my intentions are togetherness.”

The Texas native wants to bring people together with her performance, and she added, “There’s so much divisiveness, and I just hope that everybody sees themself in this performance. That is my goal; that is where my heart is coming from and I’m just so grateful, so blessed. ”

Mickey’s full-circle moment is as a young girl and watching LeAnn Rimes sing the National Anthem at a Texas Rangers game, and she was so enthralled with the performance that she decided she wanted to be a singer. She went on to sing the National Anthem numerous times in high school that she was dubbed the “national anthem singer.” Fast-forward to years later, and she’s singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at one of the world’s biggest stages – the Super Bowl.

You can catch Mickey, as well as the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, on Sunday (February 13th) beginning at 6:30pm ET/5:30pm CT on NBC or streaming live on Peacock.

With the release of her album Remember Her Name, Mickey made history as the first Black artist to earn a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. The title track “Remember Her Name” also landed Mickey with GRAMMY nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.
