Oh no…anyway…
Good for her? 🤷♂️
TLDR For non-US context: she’s been nominated for a bunch of Grammies for country music, so she’s presumably talented and people in the US know who she is.
Her performance is being called the new worst of all time (something people have ridiculed Fergie for since her performance in 2018, because they care about national anthems over there) but now she’s in rehab for alcoholism, so that explains it.
Just a side note, I live in the US and neither me nor anyone I know had any idea who she was. I had to look her up after I saw the headlines. Of course, I don’t really listen to ‘country’ so YMMV.
Edit: Also don’t care about the National Anthem but you’re right a lot of people do.
People forgot about Rosanne’s performance?
In this video they say that even Rosanne wasn’t as bad 🙈
I did, mostly because I don’t think about Roseanne or the national anthem unless they’re in the news.
Rosanne is a comedian and actress, and has never been known for singing, singer performance was terrible, but people realized she shouldn’t have been up there anyway.
Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics but the tune is actually from a drinking song, that’s why it is the way it is at the end.
If you’re not singing it drunk, you’re doing it wrong.
Lol this inspired me to finally watch it
Holy shit that was bad, like if you put me out there
I would also have to be drugged before I sang that song.
Completely appropriate. Well done.
Article about a video with no link to said video… Aggravating.
Classic BBC.

Oh wow that was pretty bad lmao
I made it to rocket’s red glare, anyone else make it further?
A couple of seconds longer. l definitely didn’t want to stick around to find out what that final note was going to sound like.
Uniting a fractured America with this one simple trick.
While si ging the brainwash anthem? Is she gonna get shot now?
