Kelly Clarkson will open for Madonna at the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. To be more specific, the first “American Idol” will sing the National Anthem at the NFL championship game in Indianapolis, according to a rumor reported by the Associated Press.

As we previously reported, Madonna will perform the halftime show to support her new album, "M.D.N.A.

In other Clarkson news, she starts her “Stronger” tour Friday, Jan. 13 in Mashantucket, CT and is taking requests from fans for the songlist via Twitter at #kcrequests.
