The game and halftime show, which are scheduled to take place on Sunday, Jan. 26, at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, will be televised live on ABC, and are expected to draw 130 million viewers in the U.S., and 800 million viewers worldwide, according to a press release.
Twain, one of country music’s most successful crossover artists, recently released her latest album, titled “Up!” The album sold a total of about 874,000 copies during its debut week, and spent its first five weeks of release at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, is one of two executive producers responsible for the halftime show. Though no other artists have yet been announced, the show typically features multiple acts from various musical genres.
