The NFL also drew flak when it revealed the names for the half-time show. Many were expecting that artist to be Taylor Swift. No points for guessing why. She’s been all over the media promoting the NFL through her connection with Travis Kelce. But alas, they chose Usher.

Reba McEntire will be gracing the audience with her rendition of the national anthem. She’s a country star and may not have a huge following. But you know, who does? Post Malone. The rapper will be singing the song “America The Beautiful”. And who would be singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing”? That would be Andra Day.
