Country music legend Reba McEntire set social media abIaze with an epic rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.

The performance was completed with a military flyover before the two teams met for the coin toss.
McEntire’s rendition with widely met with praise on social media despite some minor audio issues.
“Reba killed it,” wrote ex-NFL punter turned football pundit Pat McAfee.
Post Malone and Reba McIntrye both killed that. And, by the way, no pIayer in the NFL that I’m aware of still kneels for the anthem. No one here on either team, said Clay Travis. It’s pretty amazing how that trend just completely vanished. And how ratings have set all time records since it ended.
Simon Cowell started yelling like crazy! These little miracles sang a song that Simon could not speak…
