Seven-time Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and composer Jon Batiste will perform “The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl 2025.

Batiste was born in Metairie, La., just outside of New Orleans, so it’s a homecoming of sorts for the artist who is best known for his nearly decade-long run as bandleader and musical director onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

In January 2025, Batiste toldEntertainment Tonightthat the audience can expect his rendition of the national anthem to differ from his predecessors, such asReba McEntire, who sang “The Star-Spangled Banner" atSuper Bowl LVIIIin 2024.

“I’m excited to figure out an arrangement thatlasts the test of time, and I look forward to sharing it,” he said.

Christian music artistLauren Daiglewill sing “America the Beautiful” alongside Grammy award-winning musician Trombone Shorty during the 2025 Super Bowl pre-game show.

Trombone Shorty, born Troy Andrews, is a New Orleans native who has collaborated with Batiste and Daigle on several occasions — and the trombonist was the one who tapped the “You Say” singer for the performance at Super Bowl LIX.

“Trombone Shorty got the opportunity to sing and play ‘America the Beautiful.’ And he said, ‘I’d love to play it, but I have someone else in mind to sing it. I would really love it if Lauren sang on this,’ " Daigle told Nola.com in February 2025.

“He had a vision, so he invited me. I was shocked,” she continued. “That just goes to show the beauty of the music scene in New Orleans. What I love so much is that it’s so communal. People are looking out for each other.”

Daigle was raised in Lafayette, La., roughly two-and-a-half hours outside the Big Easy. After auditioning forAmerican Idoltwice in the early 2010s, the Grammy award-winning artist skyrocketed to fame and was thefirst female artist to reachthe top 10 onBillboard’s pop and Christian album charts simultaneously.

The dynamic duo are following inPost Malone’s footsteps. He performed an acoustic version of “America the Beautiful” during Super Bowl LVIII.
