Demi Lovato’s vocals will mark the commencement of Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, Feb. 2.

Just two days after announcing she will perform at Grammys 2020, the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer shared the news that she’d be belting out the national anthem ahead of the big game in a few weeks.

She shared the announcement on Twitter and Instagram, where she told her 76 million fans “See you in Miami.”

Lovato, 27, is one of the final entertainment announcements to be made for the Super Bowl. Latina superstars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are set to share the halftime performance stage.

Super Bowl LIV kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday, Feb. 2, on Fox.

Lovato’s 2020 Grammy Awards set, which will air on CBS Jan. 26, will be her first live, televised performance since the singer overdosed in 2018. The singer has slowly come back into the spotlight post that life-threatening experience.

In October, the singer posted on Instagram that a trip to Israel led to a spiritual awakening.

“I’ve never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God…something I’ve been missing for a few years now. Spirituality is so important to me…to be baptized in the Jordan river – the same place Jesus was baptized – I’ve never felt more renewed in my life.”

I am an American singer. I was raised Christian and have Jewish ancestors. When I was offered an amazing opportunity to visit the places I’d read about in the Bible growing up, I said yes. There is something absolutely magical about Israel. I’ve never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God…something I’ve been missing for a few years now. Spirituality is so important to me…to be baptized in the Jordan river – the same place Jesus was baptized – I’ve never felt more renewed in my life. This trip has been so important for my well-being, my heart, and my soul. I’m grateful for the memories made and the opportunity to be able to fill the God-sized hole in my heart. Thank you for having me, Israel 💗
