IndyStar reports that per a report from the Associated Press, Kelly Clarkson is the choice to sing the national anthem at this year’s Super Bowl, which takes place Sunday, Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium.

No official announcement has been made from the NFL, though the league is expected to reveal the Super Bowl XLVI anthem singer later this month.

Since becoming the first winner of “American Idol” a decade ago, Clarkson has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and had more than a half-dozen singles reach the top 10 in the Billboard Hot 100.

Also slated to participate in the pregame festivities: country music couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, singing “America the Beautiful.”

Lambert is a Grammy winner. Shelton is a judge on NBC’s “The Voice.”

Past national anthem singers include Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Beyonce Knowles, Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood and Christina Aguilera, who performed at last year’s Super Bowl XLV in Dallas.
