Reba McEntire and Rex Linn share Super Bowl anthem secret

Reba McEntire and Rex Linn recreate Friends scene before Super Bowl.

As the highly anticipated Super Bowl LVIII approaches, country music star Reba McEntire and her partner Rex Linn are keeping fans entertained with their playful antics and apparent secrets. Just a day before McEntire is set to deliver a captivating rendition of the national anthem at the big game, the couple took to Instagram to recreate a beloved scene from the hit TV show Friends.

In the hilarious clip, McEntire and Linn mouth dialogue from a scene in which Joey and Rachel discuss keeping a secret. The audio used for the video was taken from an episode titled 'The One with All the Resolutions' from the show's fifth season. While it remains unclear what, if anything, Linn knows about McEntire's upcoming performance, the duo is clearly having fun teasing fans with their playful secrecy.

During a recent interview with PEOPLE, McEntire expressed her excitement about singing the 'Star-Spangled Banner' at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. She emphasized that the moment is not about her but rather about honoring everyone who has worked tirelessly to reach the Super Bowl. McEntire believes her role is to bring a sense of patriotism to the event and pay tribute to those who strive for freedom and peace on Earth.

As the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, McEntire revealed that she would be happy to congratulate pop star Taylor Swift if they happen to cross paths. Swift recently had a successful outing at the Grammy Awards, winning in two major categories. McEntire also expressed her support for Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce, a player on the Chiefs' roster. She even referred to Kelce as a 'cutie pie.'

Aside from McEntire's national anthem performance, the Super Bowl will feature other notable musical acts. Post Malone is set to deliver a rendition of 'America the Beautiful,' while Andra Day will perform 'Lift Every Voice and Sing.' The highly anticipated halftime show will be headlined by Usher, who has hinted at some special guests. Usher revealed that it would be foolish not to include his featured artists Ludacris and Lil Jon in a performance of their hit song 'Yeah!'

Super Bowl LVIII will take place on February 11 at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be aired on CBS. Fans from around the world are eagerly awaiting this year's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, and the entertainment lineup promises to be a memorable one. So grab your snacks and settle in for an exciting evening of football and star-studded performances.
