NBC briefly misidentified country singer Mickey Guyton as Grammy nominee Jhene Aiko during a preshow performance at Super Bowl Lvi on Sunday.
As seen in the video below, the broadcast network’s telecast first panned over Guyton, who was on the field in preparation for her performance of “The Star Spangled Banner,” with a chyron that labeled her as “Jhene Aiko” during Aiko’s performance of “America the Beautiful.” A few seconds later, the incorrect name disappeared under Guyton and the camera shifted to Aiko, who was singing, and a new chyron correctly identified her as “Jhene Aiko.”
When Aiko concluded her performance of “America the Beauitful,” Guyton sang the National Anthem ahead of the 6:30 p.m. Et kickoff for the big game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. For the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful,” actress Sandra Mae Frank...

Four-time Grammy nominee Mickey Guyton followed that with a beautiful rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. Guyton is no stranger to the big stage. She’s appeared at the Grammys through the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Her debut studio album Remember Her Name, was released last September 2021 by Capitol Records Nashville.

You best remember Mickey Guyton's name. The country music star was unbreakable on Wednesday, Feb. 9, when she responded to criticism over how she landed her gig to sing the National Anthem at the 2022 Super Bowl.

"She's not known for her music. She [sic] just known as the Black woman in country music. That's her claim to fame." The critic also claimed that the Grammy-nominated singer is "either too f--king stupid to realize that she's being f--king used...

Dr. Dre has made the historic move of bringing two deaf rappers into this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Sean Forbes and Warren “WaWa” Snipe, will appear alongside Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar on Sunday to sign the big performance. It’s the first time sign language interpreters will be included in the halftime show’s more than 50-year history, although there have traditionally been interpreters during the pre-game.
Also on Sunday, actress Sandra Mae Frank will perform the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful” in American sign language on behalf of the National Association of the Deaf.
“The doors to accessibility are busted wide open with something like this,” Forbes told the Detroit Free Press . “So this is very much a full-circle moment, being from Detroit, being part of the Eminem camp — or even going back to being 12 and listening to N.W.A, Dre,...
