Let\u2019s have fun! Let\u2019s get loud!\u201d <\/p>\n The band, like Bad Bunny, has been outspoken<\/a> against President Trump. <\/p>\n Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth<\/a> will also take the stage ahead of kickoff to sing \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner.\u201d The singer is known for pop hits like \u201cAttention\u201d and \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk Anymore\u201d<\/a> with Selena Gomez. <\/p>\n Brandi Carlile<\/a> will sing \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d and Grammy-winning artist Coco Jones<\/a> will perform \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing,\u201d also before the game.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny made one promise in a trailer promoting his Super Bowl performance: \u201cThe world will dance.\u201d <\/p>\n The singer is seen grooving to his hit \u201cBaile Inolvidable\u201d with people of all ages in the trailer, released in mid-January.<\/p>\n \u201cD\u00e9bi Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos\u201d is Bad Bunny\u2019s sixth studio album and what he has called his \u201cmost Puerto Rican album ever.\u201d<\/a> The album, released just over a year ago, embraces rhythms native to Puerto Rico, like plena and salsa, and centers the island\u2019s colonial history.<\/a> <\/p>\n The album quickly rose to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
