The 2024 NFL season is set to kick off with a bang with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Baltimore Ravens, and this year’s pre-game festivities promise to be particularly special. While all eyes will be on the gridiron as America’s favorite pastime returns, there’s another star who will be commanding the spotlight: Coco Jones.

The 26-year-old singer-songwriter has been tapped to perform the National Anthem, a role she has graced with her talent on numerous occasions. Coco Jones’ connection to the NFL runs deep; her father, Mike Jones, is a former NFL player who suited up for the Tennessee Titans, among other teams. And continuing the family tradition, her brother, Mike Jones Jr., currently plays linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons.

This NFL kickoff game won’t be Jones’ first time performing at a major sporting event. In 2024, she delivered a powerful rendition of “Lift Every Voice” at the NBA All-Star Game. She also took the stage during the 2023 NBA Playoffs, singing the National Anthem for a playoff matchup.
