Can you believe it has been over 20 years since a country music star sang the main songs at the Super Bowl Halftime Show? That is a very long time! Country singer Luke Combs recently talked about this.
Luke said he would love to sing at the Super Bowl, but only if his favorite team, the Carolina Panthers, wins that day. He also talks about how stars like Chris Stapleton sing the National Anthem before the game, but country artists do not get the big halftime show. This spot is a global showcase, and the league picks pop or hip-hop stars to reach people worldwide.
