Not everyone is watching Super Bowl 52 for the love of football — celebrities are a big part of the day, too. Here's a breakdown of what is happening with entertainers on Sunday in Minnesota.

KELLY CLARKSON SUPPORTS FLU-STRICKEN PINK AHEAD OF PERFORMANCE

Kelly Clarkson says she's not worried about Pink nailing the national anthem at the Super Bowl despite having the flu.

When asked if she would fill in for Pink if needed, Clarkson said, "I don't think Pink will need anybody to fill in for her. Even Pink with the flu is still hands down one of the best vocalists of our generation."

Clarkson added: "I would take Pink's voice on a flu day any day."

Pink performed sick at a concert Friday in Minnesota and said it's easy to become under the weather when you're a mother of two children. Clarkson echoed her sentiments.

"Our babies are right in our face, like the saliva, the mucus membranes are all around us," she said. "We both have toddlers and I mean, they're literally little petri dishes of disease walking, they just have everything. So we're sick sometimes."

Clarkson was one of the tailgate performances Sunday at Nomadic Live at The Armory. She said she enjoys performing for sports fans.

"The fun thing that you can always expect is it's never going to be a dead crowd because either A, they're drinking already or B, the energy of sports fans in general, they're just excited to be here (and) they're excited for their team," she said.

Though Clarkson is a Dallas Cowboys fan, she said she's rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles over the New England Patriots.

"My nanny is a huge Eagles fan, so we're all Eagles today. And they're the underdog, right? So, you know, it's kind of cool," she said.

SHEILA E. CALLS MINNEAPOLIS HER SECOND HOME

Sheila E. has a strong connection to Minneapolis because of her ties to Prince, calling the city "my second home."

"It's great to be back. The people have been so gracious here, really cool, and been doing so many wonderful things with us and for us," she said. "The hospitality that they have shown has been amazing. So it's really nice to be back."

Sheila E. was engaged to Prince and they worked on a number of memorable songs, including the funky '80s hit "The Glamorous Life."

Sheila E. was born in Oakland and the Grammy-nominated performer is a San Francisco 49ers fan.

"Now we have a new quarterback, that's good, so maybe next year we will get somewhere," she said, referring to Jimmy Garoppolo, who joined the 49ers last year.

She also said she's a fan of the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints. For Sunday's game, she said "if I had to choose between the two, probably Philly."
