Christina Aguilera screwed up big time while singing the National Anthem opening up Sunday’s Super Bowl XLV. Singing Francis Scott Key’s “The Star-Spangled Banner” live at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the singer, 30, sang trilling “what so proudly we watched” instead of the correct lyrics, “o’er the ramparts we watched.”
Christina admits the mistake and apologizes:
“I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place,” says the star. “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”
And how many times has she sung the National Anthem? You’d think she’d know the words by now.
