Country star music star Chris Stapleton’s powerful rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday brought players and coaches to tears and caused fans across America to proclaim it one of the best ever.
The eight-time Grammy winner’s performance brought tears to the eyes of Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and a few players. Cameras showed the coach with tears streaming down his face during the beautiful rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner.”
Philadelphia lineman Jason Kelce, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, and many other players were moved by Stapelton’s performance. Even Hollywood was impressed with Pop star Pink saying: “Chris Stapleton my good lord — you and Whitney own the national anthem.
“Forever and ever.”
