Batiste’s emotional delivery of the national anthem followed Lady Gaga’s performance of the Top Gun: Maverick anthem “Hold My Hand,” the Southern University Human Jukebox Marching Band and Master P, Harry Connick Jr.’s rendition of “Go to the Mardi Gras,” and Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle’s “America the Beautiful.”

Academy and Grammy Award-winning artist Jon Batiste will sing the national anthem at the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans. Batiste, 38, is a native of Metairie, LA. His family is considered a New Orleans musical dynasty, which is fitting considering he's performing the anthem in front of the NFL's latest dynasty.
