8 Feb
Summary
- Charlie Puth will perform the U.S. national anthem at Super Bowl LX.
- Anthem performance lengths vary, averaging around 1 minute 55 seconds recently.
- The duration of the anthem has become a significant pre-game talking point.
Charlie Puth, a Grammy-nominated artist, is set to perform the U.S. national anthem at Super Bowl LX, which will take place in Santa Clara, California. This performance is one of the most anticipated musical events preceding the game's kickoff.
The duration of the national anthem has evolved into a major point of interest leading up to the Super Bowl. Unlike the halftime show, there is no set time limit for the anthem, allowing artists to interpret it uniquely. This variability leads to speculation each year.
Recent trends suggest an average anthem length of approximately 1 minute and 55 seconds. However, interpretations can range from a swift 90 seconds to over two minutes, depending on an artist's stylistic choices, such as vocal embellishments or dramatic pauses. Puth's formal musical training suggests his rendition will be carefully considered, balancing theatricality with a potentially tight delivery. The guessing game surrounding the anthem's length has become a significant pre-game tradition over the past decade.
