Country music legend Reba McEntire set social media abIaze with an epic rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
As McEntire was singing, the broadcast cut back and forth between a number of soldiers deployed overseas in South Korea, as well as the Las Vegas dome, which was decorated with the American flag. At one point, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackIe could be seen tearing up.
The performance was completed with a military flyover before the two teams met for the coin toss.
McEntire’s rendition with widely met with praise on social media despite some minor audio issues.
“Reba killed it,” wrote ex-NFL punter turned football pundit Pat McAfee.
Post Malone and Reba McIntrye both killed that. And, by the way, no pIayer in the NFL that I’m aware of still kneels for the anthem. No one here on either team, said Clay Travis. It’s pretty amazing how that trend just completely vanished. And how ratings have set all time records since it ended.
“No Matter What” is a duet by Ronan Keating and Carola, a Swedish superstar.
