Super Bowl 2017 Performers List & Halftime Show
The 2017 Super Bowl is finally here and several big performers are in the mix. There have also been rumors swirling when it comes to surprise guests. Beyonce was at the top of the list, but it's very doubtful that she will make an appearance. Beyonce has the Grammy Awards coming up next weekend and she just announced that she is pregnant, expecting twins. Prior to kick-off tonight, which is at 6:30 p.m. ET, Luke Bryan will sing the National Anthem and cast members from the Broadway production "Hamilton" are performing "America The Beautiful." According to The Big Lead, the performances will be shown on a 5-second time delay tonight. Get to know about each of the performers tonight, along with details about the halftime show performance, when you click through our performers gallery. (Getty)
Lady Gaga
Last year, Lady Gaga performed at the Super Bowl, singing the National Anthem. This year she returns as the headliner for the halftime show and she has said that she's been dreaming of this moment since she was just 4 years old. For weeks, Gaga has rehearsing with dancers in a tent that was erected in her backyard. She has also taken advice from her younger sister, who has suggested that Gaga be suspended in air for the big event. We'll have to see if the rumors are true about Gaga performing from the roof of the stadium at tonight's game. For tonight's performance, Gaga tells CBS Sports: I'm going to be taking the spirit of many performers with me on that stage when I go up there. (Getty)
The Cast of "Hamilton"
Renee Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo, and Jasmine Cephas Jones represent the cast of Broadway musical "Hamilton". They are set to deliver a performance of "America The Beautiful" and many know them from "Hamilton" as the Schuyler sisters Angelica, Eliza and Peggy. Some of the women are no longer with "Hamilton", as they are from the original cast of the show. (Instagram/HamiltonMusical)
Tony Bennett
Tony Bennett has teamed up with Lady Gaga in the past couple years for their Cheek to Cheek tour and collaborative music. Gaga also recently performed at the televised event for Bennett's 90th birthday. According to multiple reports, Bennett may have a small part in tonight's halftime show. He is said to be announcing Gaga's performance with a video message. We will have to wait and see. (Instagram/ItsTonyBennett)
Luke Bryan
Luke Bryan is performing the National Anthem and this isn't his first time doing so at a major sporting event. When he sang the "Star Spangled Banner" in 2012 for the MLB All-Star Game, he used some keywords on his hand to help him through the performance, resulting in a lot of backlash from viewers. We're guessing he won't make the same mistake this time. (Getty)
