The stars will be out in Glendale for Super Bowl 57. That's not just restricted to the game, either.

The NFL has announced the pregame entertainment lineup for its marquee 2023 event, headlined by country music supernova Chris Stapleton.

Stapleton is among the biggest names in country, a 15-time Country Music Association and 10-time Academy of Country Music award-winner who has featured on tracks with Adele, Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson. He'll be flanked by 12-time Grammy winner Babyface, as well as Emmy-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, both of whom will lend their vocal chops to the pregame ceremony.

Stapleton, who earned a Grammy nomination for his efforts on "I'll Love You Till The Day I Die", will handle the national anthem. Babyface, among the most famous acts of the 1990s, will sing a rendition of "America the Beautiful." Ralph, a star on the hit television show "Abbott Elementary", will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
