HARMONIES FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES: HER SINGS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM DURING THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF THE SUMMER GAMES

The Grammy- and Oscar-winning R&B singer's selection was announced during NBC's coverage of the games last night, when special correspondent and Olympic enthusiast Snoop Dogg dropped the news. "Can I just announce who's going…? Well, I'm a fan of HER, and I would love for HER to sing the national anthem." He then confirmed that HER would be singing the anthem.

NBC Olympics tweeted Snoop's announcement:
