Aguilera flubs National Anthem at Superbowl

Christina Aguilera says she flubbed a line as she belted out the U.S. national anthem at the start of the Super Bowl on Sunday night after getting lost in the moment and losing her place.

Besides betting on the outcomes of games, gamblers can make what are known as prop – or side – bets on anything related to the game. For Super Bowl XLV, there were several related to Christina Aguilera’s performance of The Star-Spangled Banner.

“I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through,” she said in a statement after the performance.

When she was supposed to sing the line “O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming,” she instead repeated an earlier line, with a slight variation.

She sang “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last reaming,” which is the same line from earlier in the song but with the word “watched” instead of “hailed.”

The mistake immediately set social networks abuzz with people commenting on the error.
