Brandi Carlile started off the official festivities at Super Bowl LX with a wonderful rendition of “America the Beautiful” before the the Seattle Seahawks played the New England Patriots. The 44-year-old singer crushed an acoustic redefinition of the standard while accompanied by a cello and violin player.
Watch Carlile’s timeless version of ‘America the Beautiful’ here:
Carlile was born in Ravensdale, Washington, and is a known Seahawks fan. Her performance was immediately followed by Charlie Puth doing the “Star Spangled Banner.”

Puth was solid but unspectacular. Carlile was the clear standout performance of the Super Bowl pregame performers in my eyes.
Carlile’s standout performance is a good sign for her Seahawks. Or maybe I’m just saying that because they’re the favorite, the better team, and my pick.
All eyes will be on Bad Bunny for the halftime show. This Super Bowl is already off to a good start before the game even kicks off.
