Ariana Grande sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Thursday night’s NFL season kickoff between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. The pop star knocked it out of the park with her rendition of the national anthem. The Seahawks were not as successful when discussing the performance with her on Twitter.
It all started with this:
As most of you hopefully recognized immediately, the person running the Seahawks Twitter account got the lyrics backwards. The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before Grande got a chance to have some fun with the home team.
good luck & thank u for having me!!! “@Seahawks: The home of the free. And the land of the brave. you tell'em @ArianaGrande #Kickoff2014”

We have seen plenty of performers screw up the national anthem, but they can use the excuse of nerves and adrenaline. The Seahawks must have been so excited about the 12th man and raising their Super Bowl banner that they fell into the same trap. Better luck next time.
