Who is singing the national anthem at Super Bowl 2020?

Famous singles of Lovato's include "Heart Attack," "Cool for the Summer" and "Sorry Not Sorry," the last of which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard charts.

Super Bowl national anthem over-under

The infamous Super Bowl national anthem over-under prop bet is about two minutes four seconds, give or take a few seconds depending on which company is providing the odds.

Betting the over-under on the Super Bowl national anthem is one of the most popular prop bets from the biggest American sporting event of the year. Last season's anthem singer, Gladys Knight, barely just snuck past the line, completing her rendition in 2:01. With Knight, six of the previous 11 anthems have gone longer than two minutes.

Lovato is no stranger to signing the anthem at big events, having performed most recently before the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor super-fight in August 2017.

For those curious about her history, Lovato has sung it at five previous major sporting events according to Sports Illustratedwith four out of the last five coming under the two-minute mark.

However, her most recent performance during the Mayweather-McGregor fight sailed over this mark, coming in at two minutes and 11 seconds.
