Ciara, who crushed her Janet Jackson tribute at the BET Awards last month, found herself in other sports headlines this week when boyfriend Russell Wilson, quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, mentioned during an interview that he and Ciara are abstaining from sex until they're married.

Meanwhile, back to the anthem... Ciara’s performance will air at 7 p.m. July 14 on Fox.
