The Baltimore Ravens finally put an end to their four-game losing streak last week. With Lamar Jackson back in action, the franchise looks more energetic to take on the Miami Dolphins. But before the game kicks off, the crowd at Hard Rock Stadium will come alive with a patriotic performance. So, who’s singing the national anthem at Thursday Night Football?

Who will perform the national anthem at Ravens vs. Dolphins TNF?

The Florida-born country singer Ry Rivers will take the stage to sing the national anthem before the big game on October 30th. Those who don’t know, the singer-songwriter was born as Ryan Adam in South Florida. He’s been making music since his teenage years, according to information on his website. He penned his debut track, “Every Day That I’m With You,” in the 10th grade.

Over the years, Rivers has performed and produced all his songs himself like a true DIY artist. As for his music style, he transforms touching lyrics into upbeat pop and dance rhythms. With singles such as “I Want More” and “Over You,” Ry has proved the mettle of his soulful voice. 

On Thursday, Ryan announced his NFL gig on Instagram right before his final rehearsal. Firstly, he thanked everyone for the congratulatory wishes and expressed his excitement.

“I’ve manifested these things for so long… Me and my manager talked about this at like the beginning of the year, put it on our vision board, and now it’s here and we’re doing it, and it’s crazy,” he added. And guess what? Adam is a Miami fan.

In the video, he’s wearing the team’s cap and ends his message with these words, “Fins up, baby, let’s go!”

Ry Rivers’s career and net worth 

There is no substantial information about Ry Rivers’ net worth at the time of writing. Meanwhile, Ry is a self-proclaimed workaholic who started pursuing music full-time right after college. Despite setbacks like the canceled 2020 Awkward Stage Tour, Ry didn’t give up. Instead, he spent time writing over 20 new songs and honing his craft. The country artist has partnered with talented producers like Caden Jester and Wolly.

Generally, singers usually earn an appearance fee for performing at events, but national anthem performers at the NFL don’t get such an amount. Instead, the league offers artists union-scale wages, a minimum guaranteed compensation under union contracts. But the perks of performing in the league overshadow this arrangement. 

How does singing at a halftime game impact artists?

Singing at a global league like the National Football League can elevate a singer’s career. How? An artist gets a huge exposure while performing before a large audience. The performance is also broadcast on national television. And let us tell you that the NFL has one of the highest TV ratings in the United States. 

Further, an artist’s social media engagement increases as people usually search for the singer post-performance. It could lead to more YouTube views, Spotify streams, and better activity on other music streaming platforms. So, don’t be surprised to see a rise in Ry’s followers and subscribers on these sites.
