It's game time!

Tonight marked the kickoff for the 2012 NFL season as the New York Giants took on the Dallas Cowboys, and what better way to introduce the game than with the sounds of Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani and Queen Latifah?

Carey took the stage wearing a curve-hugging glittery dress (shocker!) and belted her new single "Triumphant (Get 'Em)," alongside The Voice coach Cee Lo Green

Once her high notes and hand-waving was done, No Doubt rocked the crowd with their comeback track "Settle Down," which seemed to get the crowd in a motivated and, well, funky (in a good way) mood.

And then it was time for the Queen Latifah, who got on the field (backed by Jubilation Choir) to lead the audience in a gospel-rendition of the national anthem.
