Let It Go hitmaker Idina, is no stranger to the stage being a huge Broadway star but she’ll be hitting the same stage as the late and great Whitney Houston, who sang the anthem at the American football event 24 years ago and whose performance is widely regarded as the best ever.

She wrote on Twitter: "It was 1991 and I remember it well: Whitney sings the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Almost as glorious as her voice was her huge radiant smile. I am so humbled and honored to be asked this year. (sic)"

All of Me star John Legend also has been announced to perform 'America the Beautiful' at the annual NFL event.

What's more, the pair will be joined by fellow singers Lenny Kravitz and Katy Perry, who is reportedly planning to poke fun at rival popstar Taylor Swift during her set at this year's spectacle.
