Alicia Keys will be joining television's biggest night next month, lending her pipes to kick off the Super Bowl with a performance of the National Anthem, the Associated Press reports.

Keys will join fellow R&B superstar Beyoncé, who will headline the halftime show as the big game's entertainment. Keys and Beyoncé are each set to perform on stages of the highest profile in the coming weeks. Both are also booked to sing during the inauguration festivities for President Barack Obama on Jan 21.

And if that wasn't enough, next week will also bring Keys' 32nd birthday, meaning she'll have plenty to celebrate. Her appropriately titled album, Girl on Fire, was released in November.
