We're just weeks away from Super Bowl LVI and despite recent controversies regarding lawsuits, the NFL is poised for a Los Angeles takeover. The Cincinnati Bengals will be facing off against the L.A. Rams and fans are excited about a game—and a halftime show—unlike any other. We've continued to report on Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige taking to the stage for what's slated to be an epic halftime performance, and on Tuesday (February 1), the NFL has shared their pre-game lineup.

Variety shared that "country artist Mickey Guyton will sing the National Anthem" while gospel group "Mary Mary will perform 'Lift Every Voice and Sing,' accompanied by the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles."
