Halftime act Katy Perry isn’t the only superstar singer taking the field Sunday at Super Bowl XLIX in Phoenix, Ariz.
Before kickoff, John Legend and Idina Menzel took the stage, with John at the piano to sing “America The Beautiful,” followed by Idina’s rendition of the national anthem.
Stars enthusiastically reacted to the two performances on Twitter.
