“It’s like getting an Oscar nomination,” Blige said about the opportunity to perform at the big game.
The beloved artist performed at 2001 Super Bowl, joining Aerosmith, *NSYNC, Britney Spears and Nelly. Blige expects to have an bigger role in Sunday's performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
"This time I’m going to be front and center—Mary J. Blige, in her glory and greatness and swagger,” she told Elle.
