Super Bowl XLV: Christina Aguilera fluffs national anthem Christina Aguilera fluffed her lines while singing the national anthem at the start of the Super Bowl last night, in front of a TV audience of more than a hundred million.
The 30-year-old singer, who opened the match between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, was supposed to sing the lyrics "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming."
But instead she repeated and mangled an earlier line, singing: "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last reaming".
Following the performance, she said: "I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."
The mistake immediately set social networks abuzz as people pointed out the error.
She is not the first person to mangle a rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner at a major sporting event. In 2001, Macy Gray was famously booed for her off-kilter rendition of the national anthem.
