Watch: Chris Stapleton Wows with National Anthem at Super Bowl LVII

Chris Stapleton wowed with his performance of the national anthem just before the Super Bowl kicked off on Sunday (Feb. 12).

Clad in dark sunglasses, the eight-time Grammy Award winner stunned the crowd at Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium with a soulful rendition of the anthem. His goosebump-inducing performance – tinged in light blues and a deep patriotism – was one for the books.

The performance footage flashed from Stapleton to military members and panned to reveal tears springing from the eyes of the footballers and coaches on the sidelines.

Stapleton was part of a pregame lineup that also featured performances of the striking “America the Beautiful” from Babyface, and the all-powerful “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by Sheryl Lee Ralph. Rihanna is the headliner for the evening’s Halftime Show.

The powerhouse vocalist-guitarist most recently wowed audiences at the Grammys Award last Sunday (Feb. 5), joining Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson for an all-star tribute to Motown. Stapleton lent his chops to Wonder’s 1973 hit “Higher Ground” and played throughout Robinson’s performance.

Stapleton also just announced the extension his All-American Road Show. The 2023 tour is set to kick off on April 26 in El Paso, Texas, at UTEP Don Haskins Center. The trek will wrap on August 25 at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Georgia. See a list of upcoming tour dates below.
