(Gray News) - R&B singer Ledisi led the opening of the 2025 Super Bowl with a jaw-dropping performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which is known for being the Black national anthem.
The 52-year-old sang while dressed all in white and was assisted by a choir of 125 high school students from New Orleans.

The 125 students represented the hymn’s 125th anniversary this year.
The performance was followed by one from Lady Gaga and the national anthem, performed by Jon Batiste.
Kendrick Lamar is set to perform during this year’s halftime show with support from SZA.
