Time to cash in! Mickey Guyton sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, February 13, and her performance clocked in at one minute and 51 seconds.
Sports fans have been betting on the length of the national anthem at the Super Bowl for years, in addition to more traditional bets about the actual football game. Ahead of the showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams, most betting sites had the over-under for the 2022 national anthem set at one minute and 35 seconds.
Last year’s anthem singers, Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church, went well over that length with their rendition of the song, which clocked in at 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Theirs was the longest performance of the national anthem at the Super Bowl since 2013, when Alicia Keys took 2 minutes and 35 minutes to complete the song.
After Guyton, 38, landed the 2022 gig, she told The Los Angeles Times that she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” so often in high school that she became known as the “national anthem girl” among her classmates.
“The first time I sung it was at a basketball game when I was 13, and I kept my eyes closed the whole time,” the “Remember Her Name” songstress recalled. “But then they asked me to sing at every game after that.”
In the same interview, Guyton pointed to Whitney Houston‘s iconic 1991 performance at Super Bowl XXV as one of her all-time favorites. “I’ve heard a lot of anthems, but I feel like she evoked the truest meaning of America when she sang it,” the Grammy nominee said. “I felt so proud to be an American after that. I was like, ‘Yes! America!’ That’s what I want, to feel that again. I want everyone to feel that again.”
Ahead of Sunday’s performance, Guyton didn’t hesitate to call out social media

Chris Willman Music WriterUnofficially, at least, the United States has three national anthems now, not just one … which allowed three musical all-star artists — Mickey Guyton, Jhené Aiko and Mary Mary — to shine in the immediate run-up to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles Sunday.Much-lauded country singer Guyton was in pole position just before the game to sing “The Star Spangled Banner,” as she has on many occasions before. Although a pianist was seen, Guyton’s version was for all intents and purposes a cappella, joined by a choir shortly before she gave Frances Scott Key’s tune a galvanizing key change.In a way, Guyton’s appearance was an act of symbolic consolidation, on top of just picking the rare current name act who’s capable of the vocal job.
