[photogallerylink id=65880 align=right]Still newlyweds, Country artist and star of NBC’s The Voice, [mp3com-artist]Blake Shelton[/mp3com-artist] and GRAMMY Award winner [mp3com-artist]Miranda Lambert[/mp3com-artist], held hands as they performed a flawless rendition of “America The Beautiful” prior to the start of the Super Bowl. Their duet was followed by an equally strong performance of “The National Anthem,” by [mp3com-artist]Kelly Clarkson[/mp3com-artist].

Seemingly emotional but delivered with perfection, watch their performance below.

Blake and Miranda have had a trying start to 2012, as Blake’s father passed away on January 17th, and Miranda lost a longtime friend, followed by the loss of her dog, just days ago.
