It’s that time of year again!

This Sunday, the world will tune in to the Super Bowl to check out the show-stopping performances, hilarious new commercials, and if you’re anything like us, possibly catch a minute or two of football while passing the TV on their way to the snack table.

Everyone’s always so geared up for the halftime performance, but what about the lesser-celebrated performances that come before every Super Bowl? The singing of America’s national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner”!

To honor America and gear up for this Sunday’s amazing national anthem performance by Lady Gaga, check out some of the game’s most iconic national anthem moments.

It’s safe to assume nobody will ever top Whitney’s jaw-dropping performance at Tampa Stadium in 1991, which is still regarded as one of the best renditions of “The Star Spangled Banner” in history. Rest in peace, queen!
