Fresh off her Grammy Awards performance, Demi Lovato sang the 'Star-Spangled Banner' at Super Bowl 2020 in Miami.
Her reading of “The Star Spangled Banner” lasted 1 minutes and 50 seconds. The length of a national anthem performance has become the subject of intense scrutiny over the years, not only for the amount of time singers take but also for other elements of their performances as well.
Tapped in 2017 to sing it before the Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather Jr. boxing match, she extended “The Star Spangled Banner” to 2 minutes, 11 seconds. Even that, however, fell well short of Super Bowl performances by peers including Natalie Cole’s 1994 performance that ran 2:32, and Alicia Keys 19 years later, pushing the clock to 2:36 in 2013, making her the current record holder for lengthiest rendition.
