If you live out in a cave in the woods and somehow missed the Super Bowl, and you’re receiving this message via carrier pigeon, then you should know that Chris Stapleton put together one phenomenal rendition of the national anthem this past weekend.
In fact, it was so impressive that it brought Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni to tears:
I think it’s safe to say that this may have been the greatest Super Bowl national anthem performance by any country artist to ever play on that stage, and Stapleton admitted to having a great time out there himself:
“Man, it felt great. It really did. The energy was good and the crowd was hyped up for the game, so that kind of gets you ready to go.”
However, Stapleton also admitted that he’s not sure if he can go back and watch it:
“I don’t know if I can watch it, man. I try not to watch myself back too much.”
He received a ton of praise for his performance across all of social media.
