Coco Jones continues her superstar climb with a new milestone that millions will witness live. The Grammy-winning R&B vocalist has been tapped to perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at the Super Bowl LX pre-game, a moment that cements her place in the spotlight.
The NFL confirmed Jones as part of the kickoff lineup for the 2026 championship, airing February 8 on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock. She will be joined by Fred Beam, a deaf performer who will interpret her performance and the national anthem in American Sign Language.
This comes after a strong year for Jones, who earned another Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album for her debut project, “Why Not More.” Beyond music, fans know her as Hilary Banks in the Peacock drama “Bel-Air,” which is entering its final season.
Joining Jones in the pre-game lineup are Charlie Puth with the national anthem and Brandi Carlile with “America the Beautiful.” The Halftime Show will be headlined by Bad Bunny, accompanied by interpreter Celimar Rivera Cosme for a multilingual signing experience.
