Brandi Carlile took to the Super Bowl LX stage at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday during the pre-game performance.
The Grammy Award-winning singer sang a rendition of “America the Beautiful.” Carlile, a Washington state native, performed an acoustic guitar-heavy rendition of the song, playing the instrument herself. The folk-ified performance featured a shot of active duty troops of 332 Air Expeditionary Wing, serving the Middle East.
The New England Patriots are facing off against the Seattle Seahawks for Super Bowl LX, held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Green Day, vocal critics of the current administration, kicked off the Super Bowl’s pre-game entertainment lineup. During the performance, they sang their hit song “American Idiot,” seemingly ignoring broadcast standards to say the words, “the subliminal mind-fuck America,” as they’re written in the song, although it appeared that NBC censors garbled the lyrics so that it wasn’t heard clearly.
Prior to the pre-game show, Coco Jones performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” During the kickoff show, Carlile performed just before Charlie Puth, who sang the National Anthem just before the game started.
Bad Bunny, fresh off his album of the year win at the 2026 Grammys, is headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Much like Green Day, the Puerto Rican superstar has been a vocal critic of the Trump Administration, using one the stage of the Grammys to call out ICE. “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans,” he said.
“The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love,” he continued. “We need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it with love. Don’t forget that, please.”
