The First Country Music Halftime Show

The first-ever country music halftime show was held on January 1, 1967, during the Orange Bowl in Miami. The performers were none other than Glen Campbell and Bobbie Gentry, who sang their hit duet “Gentle on My Mind” to a national audience. This performance is widely credited with helping to boost country music’s popularity outside of the genre’s traditional stronghold in the American South.

The Second Country Music Halftime Show

The second country music halftime show was held on February 7, 1993, during Super Bowl XXVII. The show featured Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, and Wynonna Judd.

The Third Country Music Halftime Show

The Third Country Music Halftime Show was the last country music halftime show. It was performed on February 4, 2001, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, as part of Super Bowl XXXV. The halftime show featured country music artists Jessica Simpson, Nelly, and Tim McGraw.

After the September 11 attacks, many planned events were cancelled out of respect for the victims and their families. The NFL considered cancelling the Super Bowl, but decided to go ahead with the game as a way to show that America was still standing strong. The halftime show was one of the few planned events that went on as scheduled.

Simpson opened the show with a performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Nelly then performed his hit song “Country Grammar.” McGraw closed out the show with a medley of his hits, including “Live Like You Were Dying” and “I Like It, I Love It.”

The Third Country Music Halftime Show was one of the most watched halftime shows in Super Bowl history. It was also one of the most controversial. Some viewers felt that Simpson’s skimpy outfit was inappropriate for a family event like the Super Bowl. Others thought that Nelly’s rap music had no place at a country music halftime show. Despite the criticism, the Third Country Music Halftime Show is remembered as one of the most entertaining and memorable Super Bowl halftime shows ever.
