“These dedicated health care workers continue to put their own lives at risk to serve others, and we owe them our ongoing gratitude,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “We hope in a small way that this initiative will inspire our country and recognize these true American heroes. This is also an opportunity to promote the importance of vaccination and appropriate health practices, including wearing masks in public settings.”
In addition to Miley’s TikTok Tailgate performance, Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the start of the game, while Grammy-winning singer H.E.R. will be performing “America The Beautiful.”
Last but certainly not least, The Weeknd will be taking the stage at the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show, following in the footsteps of J.Lo and Shakira, who performed last year.
