From Charley Pride in 1974 to Luke Bryan in 2017: The Brief History of Country Artists Performing at the Super Bowl

Super Bowl LIV (54) on Feb. 2 is not slated to have any country-centric performers taking the stage at halftime (Jennifer Lopez and Shakira) or performing the national anthem (Demi Lovato) during pre-game festivities. However, a handful of country stars have taken part in various Super Bowls over the last 50-plus years.

Take a look at what some of your favorite country stars brought to TV’s biggest stage during past Super Bowls.

Halftime Performances

  • Super Bowl XXIV, 1990: Doug Kershaw was one of the performers during the 1990 Super Bowl. Doug had a handful of Top 20 hits on the country charts in the 1950s and ’60s with his brother Rusty as the duo Rusty & Doug.

National Anthem

  • Super Bowl LI, 2017: Luke Bryan
  • Super Bowl XLIV, 2010: Carrie Underwood

Watch Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus and Sam Elliott Star in New Super Bowl Commercial

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus have parlayed their smash hit, “Old Town Road,” into a Super Bowl spot for Doritos.

The tune, which spent a record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, has won a number of awards in the past year, including the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year, MTV Award for Song of the Year and more.

The new Super Bowl ad features Lil Nax X going toe to toe in a dance-off with actor Sam Ellitott, while Billy Ray—who has a number of achy-breaky moves—closes the commercial by quipping, “I ain’t dancing.”

DAVIS NAMED SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK

  • University of Tennessee junior forward Rennia Davis was named the SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, the league office announced on Tuesday. The honor is the second of the season for Davis and the fifth of her career.
  • The 6-foot-2 Lady Vol standout ran her streak of scoring in double figures to 18 consecutive games, averaging 23.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals last week in No. 22/22 UT’s split with #3/5 UConn and #RV/RV LSU. Davis finished 16 of 27 from the field for 59.3 percent accuracy. She was four of nine from three-point range (44.4) and went 10 of 11 from the free-throw line (90.9).
  • The graduate of Ribault High School in Jacksonville, Fla., closed the week for the Lady Vols with her second 30-point game of the season, firing in 30 and pulling down eight rebounds in a key conference victory over LSU. The win enabled the Big Orange to remain in a tie for second place in the league standings.
  • Davis connected on nine of 13 shots from the field (.692), including two of five from long range, and knocked down all 10 free-throw attempts to tie for the fourth-best 100-percent performance in Lady Vol history.

RECAPPING OUR LAST GAME

  • The No. 23/23 Lady Vols got back in the win column on Sunday, defeating LSU, 63-58, in a key SEC match-up in front of a season-best crowd of 10,230 at Thompson-Boling Arena.
  • The victory enabled the Lady Vols to post a 2-1 record during a week in which they played three games, including both SEC opponents entering contests having had an off-date prior to their meeting with the Lady Vols.
  • Junior forward Rennia Davis led Tennessee (16-4, 6-1 SEC), going a perfect 10 of 10 from the free-throw line en route to a game-high 30 points and eight rebounds.
  • LSU (14-5, 4-3 SEC) was led by redshirt senior Ayana Mitchell, who logged a double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Khayla Pointer was also in double figures for the Tigers with 12.

NOTES FROM THE LAST GAME

  • Rennia In The Record Books: Junior Rennia Davis turned in 30 points against LSU, making it the 11th time she’s scored at least 20 points and the third time she’s hit 30. She’s now tied for 11th all-time in career 20+ point performances by Lady Vols. Additionally, she went a perfect 10 of 10 from the line to tie for fourth all-time in free-throw percentage for a single game.
  • Shot Swatting: Freshman Tamari Key blocked four shots against the Tigers, putting her average in SEC play at 4.7 bpg. Key currently leads the conference, while South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston is second in conference play, averaging 2.3 bpg.
  • Defense Wins Games: Coming into the contest, LSU was averaging 61.1 ppg. off a .448 shooting percentage from the floor. Tennessee held them below their averages in both points and shooting percentage at 58 points on .333 shooting.
  • Horston Dropping Dimes: Freshman Jordan Horston dished out a career-high-tying nine assists against the Tigers, moving her average to 5.2 apg. If the season ended today that average would be first all-time among Lady Vol freshmen.

UT-VU SERIES NOTES

  • The Lady Vols are 29-7 vs. the Commodores in Nashville, 33-1 in Knoxville and 10-2 at neutral sites, with those being postseason games.
  • UT had a 10-game series winning streak snapped last season, when Vandy won for the first time ever in Knoxville.
  • These squads have been to overtime on one occasion, with Tennessee seizing a 92-79 decision in Nashville on Jan. 19, 1997.
  • Including that OT game, Kellie (Jolly) Harper was 9-0 vs. Vanderbilt as a Lady Vol point guard and is 1-2 vs. the Commodores as a head coach.
  • Harper was 0-1 vs. VU while head coach at Western Carolina (73-44, March 21, 2009), and 1-1 vs. the Commodores while at NC State, dropping a 77-71 decision on the road on Nov. 28, 2009, and winning at home, 66-59, on Dec. 18, 2011.
  • Rennia Davis averaged 15.5 ppg. and 9.0 rpg. vs. VU in two games last season. She had a 17/12 double-double in Nashville on Feb. 3, 2019.
  • The UT women are 247-61-1 all-time vs. four-year college teams from the Volunteer State, defeating ETSU (72-68) and Tennessee State (73-43) earlier this season.

ABOUT VANDERBILT

  • Vanderbilt returned four starters and seven total letterwinners from last season’s squad which finished 7-23 overall and 2-14 (14th) in the SEC. VU was picked to finish 14th by the media and 12th by the coaches in the 2019-20 preseason poll.
  • The Commodores are led by redshirt senior forward Mariella Fasoula, who averages 14.0 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest. VU also gets 13.4 ppg. from sophomore Brinae Alexander and freshman Koi Love.

RECAPPING VANDY’S LAST GAME

  • Alabama was not a gracious host Sunday, as the Crimson Tide used a dominant first quarter to knock off a shorthanded Vanderbilt team, 98-61, at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa.
  • Fifth-year senior and leading scorer Mariella Fasoula attempted to play through illness but was held scoreless in just nine minutes for the Commodores who were already without starters Brinae Alexander and Autumn Newby due to injury.
  • Junior guard Chelsie Hall tied a career high with five steals, freshman Kiara Pearl tallied a career-best 11 points, sophomore guard Jordyn Cambridge finished with a career-best three blocks and senior LeaLea Carter led four Commodores in double figures with 15 points.
  • Vanderbilt fell on the road for just the second time this season and dropped to 12-8 overall and 2-5 in SEC play.

THE LAST TIME WE MET THE ‘DORES

  • Redshirt senior Cheridene Green posted a career-high 20 points on Senior Night, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a Vanderbilt team that shot 53.8 percent from the floor, handing Tennessee a 76-69 loss at home on Feb. 28, 2019.
  • Green’s previous best scoring performance also came against Vanderbilt, on Jan. 17, 2018, when she tallied 17 points.
  • Sophomore Rennia Davis was also in double figures for Tennessee (17-11, 6-9 SEC) with 14.

THE LAST TIME WE MET IN NASHVILLE

  • The Lady Vols went 17-of-20 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter to secure their third straight victory, defeating rival Vanderbilt on Feb. 3, 2019, 82-65, in Memorial Gymnasium.
  • Sophomore Rennia Davis and senior Meme Jackson had 17 apiece for UT (15-7, 4-5 SEC). Davis posted 12 rebounds to record her second straight and sixth overall double-double of the season.
  • Vanderbilt (6-16, 1-8 SEC) was led by redshirt junior Mariella Fasoula, who had 16 points, eight rebounds and went a perfect six of six from the free-throw line. Chelsie Hall and Autumn Newby each had 11 for the Commodores.

Vols Stumble Against the Aggies, 63-58

Vols Stumble Against the Aggies, 63-58

Credit: UT Athletics

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Despite three Vols scoring in double figures, Tennessee fell to Texas A&M, 63-58, Tuesday night in Thompson-Boling Arena. The contest featured seven lead changes and a season-high nine blocks by UT.

Junior John Fulkerson led the Vols (12-8, 4-3 SEC) with 15 points and a team-high six rebounds. It marked the sixth time in seven games that Fulkerson has scored in double digits. Senior Jordan Bowden was right behind him with 13, followed by junior Yves Pons, who scored 10.

The Aggies (10-9, 4-3 SEC) were paced by freshman Wendell Mitchell, who recorded 23 points on the night. The Big Orange held Texas A&M to a 30.4 percent shooting percentage and forced 14 turnovers, but the Aggies’ 46-21 advantage in rebounding and 16 second-chance points were enough for them to overcome any offensive shortcomings.

Both teams started slow offensively, but Tennessee went on a 5-0 run to gain its largest lead of the opening half at 14-6. The Aggies then went on an 8-0 run to tie the game at 14-14,  but the Vols responded with back-to-back dunks from Pons and James to put the Big Orange up by four, 18-14.

But A&M closed the first half strong and managed to take a 25-24 lead into the break.

The Big Orange scored the first eight points of the second half with three free throws from Santiago Vescovi, a 3-pointer from Pons and a lay-in from Fulkerson to put Tennessee on top again, 32-25.

Fulkerson scored the next seven points for UT, but the Aggies kept things close.

Texas A&M went on their second 8-0 run of the night later in the second half, taking the lead, 40-39, with slightly more than 10 minutes left to play. Bowden ended a UT scoring drought with a momentum-shifting dunk, giving Tennessee the lead back yet again.

With less than a minute left in regulation, Bowden delivered a clutch 3-pointer, tying the game at 53-53.

But the Aggies responded with a triple of their own when Mitchell hit from beyond the arc–a shot that proved to be the game-winner.

Block City: Tennessee came into the game ranked ninth in the nation in blocks per game (5.9 bpg) and kept that pace by recording a season-high nine blocks. Tennessee has now recorded 121 blocks on the season, upping its average to 6.1 per game. Tuesday marked the fourth time the team recorded eight or more blocks in a contest this year.

Career-High Night: Two different Vols recorded career-highs in the block column as Olivier Nkamhoua and Jalen Johnson both recorded three. Nkamhoua, a true freshman, tallied his three blocks in one four-minute span.

Yves Making His Mark: Yves Pons finished the contest with two blocks, marking his 20th consecutive game with at least one block. It also marked the fifth-time this season that the junior has made two or more 3-pointers in a contest.

Dishing ‘Em Out: Freshman Santiago Vescovi recorded a career-high in assists with six. His previous best performance was four against both Ole Miss and LSU.

Jimmy’s blog: Aggies dominate Vols on the boards to score upset

Jimmy’s blog: Aggies dominate Vols on the boards to score upset

By Jimmy Hyams

Watch Tennessee play Kansas and the Vols look like a potential NCAA Tournament team.

Watch the Vols play Texas A&M and they don’t look like an NIT team.

The Aggies, ranked 13 th among SEC teams in the NCAA NET rankings, out-hustled, out-played and out-toughed Tennessee 63-58 Tuesday night in Thompson-Boling Arena before 17,722 stunned fans.

“I’m not sure we deserved to win,’’ Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said.

No, the Vols didn’t, not after being dominated on the boards by an incomprehensible 46-21. A&M had more offensive rebounds (23) than UT had total rebounds (21). The Aggies had 16 second-chance points. UT had three – that came on a three at the buzzer — thanks to a measly four offensive rebounds.

What happened to the Tennessee team that just three days ago came oh-so-close to upsetting No. 3 Kansas at famed Allen Fieldhouse?

“We got out-toughed,’’ said Tennessee senior guard Jordan Bowden, who managed 13 points but hit just 1-of-7 from 3-point range.

Bowden admitted that getting out-fought is one of the worst things a player can experience.

But it happened to UT against an 11-point underdog that was one of three SEC teams with a negative rebound margin entering the game.

This was an A&M team fresh off an 11-point home loss to Oklahoma State, an A&M team that lost to Fairfield and Harvard, an A&M team with an NCAA Net ranking of 149 — 95 spots behind Tennessee.

With a solid performance at Kanas, Tennessee had hopes of pushing toward an NCAA Tournament bid.

That hope remains, but it faded mightily against A&M.

“It’s pretty simple,’’ Barnes said in assessing the outcome. “You give up 23 offensive rebounds and get three (four if you count a team rebound) yourself. I’m disappointed in a lot of areas.’’

Barnes said he was “surprised’’ at the rebound differential, adding “we settled too much.’’

Tennessee made 15 of 23 two-point field goal attempts but shot just 6-of-22 on 3s.

Why settle?

“I can’t explain it,’’ Barnes said, “because that’s all we talked about the last two games. I thought the guys understood that.’’

UT also had 13 turnovers, continuing an unwanted trend. The Vols average more turnovers than any team Barnes has coached in Knoxville.

Tennessee blocked a season-high 10 shots and held A&M to 30.4% shooting – usually good enough to win a game. But UT couldn’t overcome the rebounding disadvantage.

While Bowden once again struggled from the perimeter, he was 3-of-5 on two-point tries and made it to the foul line seven times.

“When he starts driving the ball,’’ Barnes said, “it adds so much to his game.’’

But Tennessee didn’t drive it enough, didn’t rebound it enough, and didn’t hit enough 3s.

That dropped Tennessee’s record to 12-8 and decreased their chances of earning an NCAA bid.

Trace Adkins, Justin Moore, Eddie Montgomery & More to Take Part in 2nd Annual Troy Gentry Foundation Benefit Concert

Trace Adkins, Justin Moore, Eddie Montgomery & More to Take Part in 2nd Annual Troy Gentry Foundation Benefit Concert

A star-studded cast of country artists will come together for C’Ya On the Flipside II, a benefit concert on Feb. 5 at the Grand Ole Opry House that will support the Troy Gentry Foundation.

C’Ya On the Flipside II will feature performances by Justin Moore, Trace Adkins, Don McLean, Terri Clark, Mark Wills, Shenandoah, Ricochet, T. Graham Brown, Rhett Akins, Abby Anderson, Jake Hoot, Caroline Jones and Eddie Montgomery. Tracy Lawrence and Storme Warren will co-host the event. Tickets are on sale now. In addition, fans can bid on concert tickets, memorabilia, artwork and more via an online auction.

After Troy Gentry was killed in a helicopter crash on Sept. 8, 2017, his wife, Angie, helped launch the non-profit foundation that aims to provide financial support to cancer research organizations, military families and music education. The concert will support the T.J. Martell Foundation, Make-A-Wish, The Journey Home Project, Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center, St. Jude Children’s Hospital and music education in Kentucky schools. Last year’s inaugural event helped raise more than $300,000 for various charities.

Troy, a Kentucky native who was 50 at the time of his death, was one half of the country duo Montgomery Gentry. The duo found success with songs such as “My Town,” “If You Ever Stopped Loving Me,” “Something to Be Proud Of,” “Gone,” and “Back When I Knew It All.”
