Frozen star Idina Menzel will sing the American national anthem before the Super Bowl kicks off next month.

The NFL announced on Friday that John Legend will perform America the Beautiful before Super Bowl XLIX at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Menzel has had a top-notch year, thanks to the success of Frozen and her worldwide hit, Let It Go. Her Broadway show If/Then closes on March 22.

Legend, too, has had a career-highlighting year. His song All of Me was one of 2014’s biggest hits, and he recently won a Golden Globe for his song with rapper Common, Glory, from the film Selma.

Pop star Katy Perry will perform during the halftime show.

John Legend poses in the press room after winning the award for best original song “Glory” in a film for “Selma” at the 72nd annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
