This Sunday, Louisiana’s own Lauren Daigle will take center stage at the Caesars Superdome, performing “America the Beautiful” during the Super Bowl LIX pre-game celebration.
She will be joined by the talented jazz musician Trombone Shorty, adding a unique flair to the event.
Pre-Game Lineup
The highly anticipated Super Bowl is returning to New Orleans after two decades, and this year’s pre-game lineup showcases the rich cultural tapestry of the city.
In addition to Daigle’s performance, New Orleans native Jon Batiste will sing the national anthem, and R&B artist Ledisi is set to offer “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Fans can catch all the action live on Fox.
Lauren Daigle’s Journey
Daigle has expressed her excitement about this opportunity, cherishing the chance to share the spirit of New Orleans through her music.
In a time when the city has faced its share of trials, she views this performance as a way to spread a message of hope to both locals and audiences around the world.
This isn’t Daigle’s first time performing at the Superdome; she previously sang the national anthem during the 2020 national championship game between LSU and Clemson.
Now, she eagerly anticipates the challenge of presenting “America the Beautiful. ” She sees this opportunity as a way to bring people together through the power of music, much like the message conveyed in the He Gets Us Super Bowl ad.
Daigle hopes her performance will inspire unity and reflection, creating a memorable moment for everyone watching.
With her signature voice and heartfelt delivery, she aims to make the rendition truly special.
She reflected on the distinct differences between the two songs, noting the complexities of the national anthem’s structure and melody.
Over the years, the Super Bowl pre-show has welcomed a wide array of renowned artists, including Christian rapper Kirk Franklin.
At just 33, Daigle has established herself as a prominent figure in contemporary Christian music (CCM) with a string of awards to her name.
Her breakthrough album, Look Up Child, released in 2018, reached platinum status.
The standout track, “You Say,” made history by reigning atop Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart for an impressive 66 weeks, while her subsequent single, “Rescue,” also found significant acclaim.
Both the album and “You Say” received accolades during the 2019 Grammy Awards, solidifying her impact in the industry.
As a young leader in the Christian community, Daigle often reflects on a Biblical verse that highlights the blessings that come to those who endure challenges for their beliefs.
She recognizes the responsibilities and difficulties that accompany such a role.
Message of Hope
When sharing her faith, she emphasizes the importance of depicting God’s love and compassion.
Daigle points out that while some individuals may resist direct discussions about spirituality, they are often receptive to messages about God’s kindness and patience.
By focusing on these gentler aspects of His nature, she finds it easier to connect and build rapport, paving the way for deeper conversations about faith.
As excitement builds for Super Bowl LIX, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9, all against the backdrop of the iconic Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
