As the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight draws closer more of the smaller details are finalized and announced. The latest is the announcement of singer-songwriter Demi Lovato as the National Anthem performer during Saturday's main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Lovato is a GRAMMY-nominated artist and has a list of hits to her credit, but this will be the first time in her career that she sings the anthem at a boxing event.

Lovato has sung the anthem in front of a large crowd before (see video above) and if her performance is any indication of what fans will get this weekend, she'll only add to the already electric atmosphere of the fight.

Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT at T-Mobile.
