List of national anthem performers at the Super Bowl

1967–1991 1992–present ==Notable performances==

The performance by Whitney Houston at Super Bowl XXV in 1991, during the Gulf War, has been for many years regarded as one of the best renditions ever. It was released as a single a few weeks later, appeared on the album Whitney: The Greatest Hits, and was re-released as a single in 2001 shortly after the September 11 attacks. The 1992 performance marked the first time American Sign Language was used alongside the lead singer. Faith Hill performed the anthem at Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000. Following the September 11 attacks, her version entered the Hot Country Songs chart at number 35. ==Controversies==

Since 1993, the NFL has required performers to supply a backup track during the national anthem, America the Beautiful, and Lift Every Voice and Sing to ensure audio quality and prevent performance glitches due to factors like weather, loud crowds, or technical issues. and Brooks was coaxed back into the stadium and sang. Game organizers decided not to use a popular music vocalist. The combined choirs of the U.S. Military Academy, the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets were invited to perform. This was the first time since the second inauguration of President Richard Nixon in 1973 that all four service academies sang together. Two days after Super Bowl XLIII, it was revealed that Jennifer Hudson also had lip synced. According to the New York Times, she also changed "gleaming" to "reaming". == Military flyovers ==

In recent years, the national anthem has been followed by a flyover of the stadium by a group of military aircraft. The first time this happened was Super Bowl VI with a group of F-4 Phantoms from the 33rd Tactical Fighter Wing at Elgin Air Force Base for fallen military members during the Vietnam War. The practice wouldn't become a regular tradition until Super Bowl XIX and of course would be missed over several of the next games because they were held indoors. Both the USAF Thunderbirds (six) and the Navy Blue Angels (three) have been regular performers of the flyovers. The Super Bowl XLV flyover by Navy F/A-18 Hornets from Naval Air Station Oceana was criticized as too expensive due to the existence of a naval air station in Fort Worth, Texas. And the flyovers have been criticized in general as promoting militarism and war. The flyovers have also been praised for promoting history during Super Bowl LII where a World War II era P-51 Mustang flew with modern USAF jets. And at Super Bowl LVII, the Navy flyover consisted of all female pilots, honoring the 50th anniversary of the first female navy pilot. ==Other patriotic performances==
