Halftime Shows Of Country Music Past: Remember Shania Twain And The ‘Rockin’ Country Sunday’
This will bring back some memories. I remember these shows, do you?
Let’s go back in time for a little bit:
Super Bowl XXVIII (28)
Year: 1994
Location Atlanta, Georgia
The halftime show was titled “Rockin’ Country Sunday” and featured country music stars Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, and Wynonna Judd. The show’s finale included a special appearance by Naomi Judd, who joined Wynonna in performing The Judds’ single “Love Can Build a Bridge”, to which everyone eventually joined in.
Little known FACT: This was the first Super Bowl halftime show in which the main stadium lights were turned off for the performance. The show included dancers with yard-long light sticks.
Super Bowl XXXVII (37)
Year: 2003
Location: San Diego, California
Shania Twain, No Doubt, and Sting were featured during the halftime show. Twain sang her hits “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “Up!”.
No Doubt then sang their hit “Just a Girl” with lead singer Gwen Stefani ad-libbing lines like “I’m just a girl at the Super Bowl!” The show concluded with Sting performing “Message in a Bottle”, with Stefani joining in midway through.Also, don’t let us forget The Dixie Chicks sang the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner”.
