What Was the Time of the Longest Super Bowl National Anthem?

The time of the longest Super Bowl national anthem was 2 minutes and 36 seconds, which was the time taken by Alicia Keys when she performed at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.

Others that come close to Alicia Keys’ drawn-out rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner are Lady Gaga at 2 minutes and 22 seconds in 2016 and Jennifer Hudson’s 2 minutes and 10 seconds performance in 2009.

On those occasions, people betting on the over for the length of the Super Bowl national anthem were most certainly celebrating even before kick-off!

What Was the Time of the Shortest Super Bowl National Anthem?

The shortest recorded time for the US national anthem at the Super Bowl is 1 minute and 2 seconds. This was performed by Neil Diamond at Super Bowl XXI in 1987. Not to be confused with the Super Bowl halftime show, some artists have even performed both throughout their careers.

Given that the average amount of time taken to sing The Star-Spangled Banner is estimated to be around 1 minute and 19 seconds, this was a very quick showing from Diamond.

For the Super Bowl, where performers like to make the most of their moment in the spotlight to belt out the US national anthem, on average, it’ll take the singer 1 minute and 59 seconds, per a 2022 report.
