How to Watch

Watch the Season 27 premiere of The Voice on Monday, February 3 at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

At Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, February 11, the first ever to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, country singer and The Voice Coach Reba McEntire kicked off the festivities with a wonderfully rousing rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," better known as the national anthem.

In an interview with CBS Mornings, McEntire revealed that it's thanks to her boyfriend, Rex Linn, that she took the gig as quickly as she did.

"I got the news from my manager...he said they wanted me to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl, and I said, 'Oh my gosh, well, let me think about that,'" McEntire recalled. "And Rex Linn, my boyfriend, who is a huge football fan, he said, 'Yes! She’ll do it! Absolutely!'"
