Christina Aguilera Explains National Anthem Flub
Christina Aguilera is well aware that flubbed the lyrics while singing the National Anthem during Sunday’s Super Bowl XLV.
The 30-year-old singer sang “what so proudly we watched” instead of the correct lyrics, “o’er the ramparts we watched.”
“I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place,” said Aguilera in a statement. “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”
Prior to her performance, she was excited to sing before millions of viewers.
“I have been performing the anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true…I am really excited to be part of such an iconic event,” Aguilera said.
