During Sunday night\u2019s Super Bowl, Reba McEntire delivered a memorable and unforgettable moment in front of the crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
\nHer magical rendition of \u2018The Star-Spangled Banner\u2019 had the audience cheering, and us viewers at home were also left with goosebumps. Chris Jones, the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 defensive lineman, was visibly moved by the moment and tears began to flow.<\/p>\n
It was truly a performance to remember by the three-time Grammy winner \u2013 and what we all needed to start the game off!
\nReba McEntire\u2019s national anthem performance
\nAs we know, there\u2019s no bigger stage than belting out the anthem before the opening kickoff at the Super Bowl, and considering Chris Stapleton\u2019s fantastic rendition last year, the expectations were sky-high for the legendary Oklahoma native.
\nThe applause was thunderous once Reba concluded, setting a splendid tone for the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
\nA month ago, the 68-year-old Reba revealed some intriguing details about her performance. In an interview with CBS Mornings, the country star said that she accepted the invitation to sing the national anthem for a specific reason.
\n\u201dI got the news from my manager\u2026he said they wanted me to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl, and I said, \u2018Oh my gosh, well, let me think about that,\u2019\u201d McEntire recalled. \u201dAnd Rex Linn, my boyfriend, who is a huge football fan, he said, \u2018Yes! She\u2019ll do it! Absolutely!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
