Who sang the national anthem at the Ravens-Texans Christmas game?

After watching the Pittsburgh Steelers walk the dog in their own home to kick off the NFL’s monumental Christmas Day on Netflix, the football world’s attention then turned to Texas, particularly Houston, as the Texans’ hometown should face the Baltimore Ravens of two surefire playoff teams from the AFC.

Baltimore has been on the rise all season and quarterback Lamar Jackson has done everything he can to potentially take home his third NFL MVP award but, perhaps more importantly for the Ravens, a home game in the Wild Card Round by capturing the AFC North from the rival Steelers.

But the Texans will certainly have a say in this. The runaway club at the top of the AFC South standings hasn’t exactly been the dominant run some expected for Houston this season, but it’s still been pretty good for sophomore quarterback CJ Stroud and company. The big question, however, will be what this offense can do down the stretch, now that it will be without Tank Dell, who is joining Stefon Diggs on IR with a season-ending illness.

It’s going to be an intriguing game, but given the effort the NFL and Netflix are putting into it, it’s even more fun from the start. That means we will witness a spectacle that begins with the national anthem. But who sings the “Star-Spangled Banner” for the Ravens-Texans game? Here’s what we know.

The wildly popular a capella group Pentatonix performs the national anthem for the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on Christmas Day. Pentatonix is ​​a three-time Grammy Award-winning group that most recently took home the hardware for Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2017 for their release of “Jolene” featuring the legendary Dolly Parton.

Pentatonix currently consists of five members, four men and one woman. The members are Mitch Grassi, Kristin Maldonado, Scott Hoying, Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee. Avi Kaplan was previously part of the group but has since left.

Not only do we have a group of the quality and fame of Pentatonix performing the Ravens-Texans national anthem, but we also get a great halftime show as the indescribable Beyoncé takes the stage in Houston. In keeping with the setting, Beyoncé will perform her songs Cowboy Carter Country album released in early 2024.
