The NFL’s official Twitter account provided a bit more context for the event: ‘@mileycyrus will be at Super Bowl LV to perform at the very first #TikTokTailgate – the NFL’s preseason for the 7,500 vaccinated healthcare heroes invited to attend it. “
“These dedicated health professionals are still risking their own lives to serve others, and we owe their continued gratitude to them,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement about giving Super Bowl tickets to people working in health care during the pandemic. “We hope in a small way that this initiative will inspire our country and recognize these true American heroes. It is also an opportunity to promote the importance of vaccination and appropriate health practices, including wearing masks in the public sphere. “
The TikTok tailgate can be viewed on February 7 at 2:30 pm ET, either on TikTok or CBS.
It was announced earlier that HER ‘America the Beautiful’ will perform, and Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church will sing the National Anthem at this year’s kick-off show at 18:00 ET. The Weeknd is the main article of the 2021 Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show.
