Were you betting that Kelly Clarkson would pull a Steven Tyler and make a mockery of the most sacred of songs? Well, she didn’t.
The pop singer performed the National Anthem just mere minutes ago and the crowd was ecstatic. She pulled it off very nicely.
The added touch of the children singing it alongside her really made the moment. It really captured the American spirit on display at the Super Bowl.
Twitter, of course, is always a great place for knee jerk reactions. Let’s see what they had to say!
