There is something about Championship Sunday that makes everything feel suspended in time. The season’s noise quiets, and by the end of the night, only two teams are left standing between here and the Super Bowl.
On Jan. 25, while the AFC title is decided in Denver, the NFC title will be played in Seattle. The Seahawks host the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field, with a trip to Super Bowl 60 on the line, and tucked into the middle of all that tension, a halftime moment that feels unusually personal.
Who Will Be Performing at the Rams-Seahawks Game?
The halftime performer for the Los Angeles Rams-Seattle Seahawks game is Tucker Wetmore. He grew up in Kalama, Washington, a small town where Friday nights revolved around football.
Wetmore graduated from Kalama High School in 2018 and carried those Friday-night lights with him to Montana Technological University, where he arrived intent on building a football career. But life had other ideas. An unfortunate leg injury at the practice during his freshman year brought that chapter to an abrupt close.
Music, it turned out, had been waiting patiently. He had taught himself piano at 11, soaking up influences like reggae, rock, heavy metal, hip-hop, anything with feeling and rhythm. When football ended, music came to the fore. In 2020, he moved to Nashville. Three years later, he signed with UMG Nashville, and suddenly, the long nights and small rooms made sense.

In 2024, Wetmore scored consecutive Platinum singles with “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You,” the latter climbing all the way to No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart. His debut album, “What Not To,” released in April, debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and became the highest-charting country debut by a new artist that year.
Nevertheless, nothing quite compares to Sunday in Seattle. He has spent years in the stands at Lumen Field, cheering on the Seahawks like any other fan. Now, he will be standing on the field instead.
“I’m freaking out, if I’m being honest,” he told Seattle radio station 100.7 The Wolf. “I’m excited to get out there. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in that stadium watching the Hawks play. To be able to sit down there on the field and play my songs in front of everybody in the stadium, it’s going to be crazy.”
Meanwhile, Zach Top, the CMA’s 2025 New Artist of the Year, will deliver the national anthem before kickoff.
