The Super Bowl already had a major buzz with Rihanna making headlines as the halftime performer, and the lineup just got another upgrade! Sheryl Lee Ralph has been confirmed to be one of the event’s opening acts.
Sheryl has had quite the success lately, by winning Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in "Abott Elementary” at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards.. She also won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the Emmy Awards in 2022.
There will be other major talent alongside Ralph performing in in the pre-show festivities as Grammy-winning country music artist Chris Stapleton, will sing the National Anthem and R&B legend, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, will sing a rendition of “America the Beautiful.”
The Abbott Elementary star has worked over 4o years in Hollywood, getting her first big break in 1977’s A Piece of the Action, when Sidney Poitier casted her to play a delinquent teen. Ralph then took over Broadway a few years later, where she earned a Tony nomination for her role in the original cast of Dreamgirls. The sky was the limit after that as Ralph went on to star in the hit 90s sitcom, Moesha for six seasons. This Super Bowl should be a memorable experience off the performances alone.
