NEW YORK (AP) -- Lady Gaga is set to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The
NFL told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Gaga will sing "The
Star-Spangled Banner" at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California,
where the Carolina Panthers will take on the Denver Broncos.
Academy Award winning actress Marlee Matlin will perform in American Sign Language during the national anthem.
Super Bowl 50 will air on CBS, and halftime show performers include Coldplay and Beyonce.
Gaga's
upcoming performance during the Super Bowl is another notch in her
belt: She won a Golden Globe for her role in "American Horror Story:
Hotel" last month and she's nominated for best original song at the
Academy Awards on Feb. 28 with "Til It Happens to You," the song she
wrote with Diane Warren for the sexual assault documentary, "The Hunting
Ground." The song is also nominated for a Grammy at the Feb. 15 awards
show, where Gaga will pay tribute to David Bowie with a performance.
Last
year, Gaga wowed audiences at the Oscars when she paid tribute to "The
Sound of Music" with a show-stopping performance. She won her sixth
Grammy for her collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett, and she was
named woman of the year by Billboard.
Tony-winning actress and "Let It Go" singer Idina Menzel sang the national anthem at last year's Super Bowl.
