The song "America the Beautiful" was sung before, but it was switched to "God Bless America" in the post-9/11 era.

The performance, often not televised, immediately precedes the national anthem.
However, the 12-time Grammy winner joked that his pregame performance “will differ a lot” from the first time he sang the song in front of an audience back when he was a sophomore in high school.
