The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the NFL has
not yet announced the anthem singer.
Keys, who turns 32 next week, released her fifth studio album,
"Girl on Fire," late last year.
The Super Bowl teams will be determined this Sunday, when the San
Francisco 49ers play the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC championship game, and the
Baltimore Ravens face the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game.
The NFL said in October that Beyonce will be the star of the
halftime show at this year's Super Bowl. She sang the national anthem at the
2004 NFL title game in her hometown of Houston.
Others who have performed the national anthem at past Super Bowls
include "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson last year, as well as
Whitney Houston, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Neil Diamond and Mariah Carey.
At the 2011 Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and
Pittsburgh Steelers in Dallas, pop star Christina Aguilera flubbed a line while
belting out the national anthem. When she was supposed to sing the words
"O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," Aguilera
instead repeated an earlier line, with a slight variation - drawing plenty of
attention on Twitter.
