How long was the national anthem at Super Bowl LIX?

The Super Bowl is by far the biggest sporting event on everyone's calendar each year, and for various reasons. This year, it's safe to say most are tuning in to watch the game itself between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

While the game, itself, is typically full of entertainment, there are a variety of other aspects to it which people love. Whether it's getting together with friends and family to eat your favorite snacks, gluing your eyes to the TV in the middle of commercial breaks in hopes for a belly-busting laugh or even some of the musical facets.

Prior to the game, it becomes one distinct person's great privilege to sing our country's National Anthem. The Star Spangled Banner has been part of professional sporting events for over 100 years now

And, every year, many folks want to know just how long the anthem is going to go. It's even become part of the betting world, funny enough.

Looking at the Super Bowl anthem's history, the shortest performance was given by Neil Diamond in 1987 when he sang it in just 1:02 at Super Bowl 21.

Prior to Super Bowl 59, the past eight anthems have alternated above and below two minutes, every other year, which could make those prop bets a little more interesting. Last year, Reba McIntire sang it in 1:35.
