Adele Dazeem, er, Idina Menzel, and John Legend will reportedly perform the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful, respectively” at this year’s Super Bowl.

The song, which Menzel performed at the 2014 Oscars, won Best Original Song there. Then John Travolta butchered her name in truly epic fashion. The acclaimed stage actress is also currently starring in Broadway’s “If/Then,” a story of a woman and multiple paths she could have taken during her life. “If/Then,” which will close in March, was nominated for the Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Actress in a Musical for Menzel’s performance. Menzel also starred on Broadway in “Wicked,” in which she portrayed the Wicked Witch of the West made famous in “The Wizard of Oz,” and “Rent.” Those who have performed America’s National Anthem at the Super Bowl recently include singer Renée Fleming, Alicia Keys, and Kelly Clarkson.
