 This year’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show is gearing up to be one of the most star-studded events in the game’s history, and who better to kick things off than the incomparable Lady Gaga?

The NFL confirmed Tuesday that Gaga will open for the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos at Sunday’s big game by singing The Star-Spangled Banner. In doing so, she’ll join a historic list of distinguished divas who’ve had the honor before her, including Whitney Houston, Cher, and Diana Ross.

The global icon will be accompanied by Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin, who will perform the national anthem in American Sign Language.

The two will perform live for an audience of 75,000 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as well as hundreds of millions of others watching live telecasts around the world. To date, the Super Bowl ranks as the most-watched event in global television history, averaging an impressive 114.4 million viewers per minute.

This year’s halftime show will be anchored by Coldplay, who’ve enlisted the help of previous halftime performers Bruno Mars and Beyoncé, as well as Rihanna.
