Who is Brandi Carlile? Meet the Super Bowl 60 'America the Beautiful' performer

Super Bowl 60 is set for Sunday, Feb. 8. While the match between the Seahawks and Patriots promises excitement, the festivities of the Super Bowl are also highlights of the event.

Although the halftime show's headliner draws the most attention, it is not the only performance on the night of the big game.

Before kickoff, the national anthem and "Lift Every Voice" will be performed on the field, along with Brandi Carlile singing "America the Beautiful."

Here's everything there is to know about Brandi Carlile.
