We all either watched Chris Stapleton sing the “Star Spangled Banner” at last year’s Super Bowl live, or we watched videos of it on social media.
Chris absolutely nailed the performance, but he did share that he was quite nervous for it.
“Learning the words. I mean, I knew the words, but making sure – that’s the one unforgivable thing.”
He was looking for a little support from his wife Morgane, as she is no stranger to big crowds herself.
Chris shares that before his performance Morgane was exposing him to all the things that could go wrong during the National Anthem.
Chris also says she was sending him countless videos and examples of “Star Spangled Banner Gone Wrong.”
“My wife was messing with me. There’s all these ideas of people messing up so she would find the people messing up the most and she would send me those.
I was like, ‘Please don’t send me this because I’m going to get that in my head.’”
What a horrible-yet-hilarious way to help your significant other face their fears.
And let’s be honest, based on how well Chris Stapleton’s rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” went, I think Morgane actually did a lot to help. Instead of being included in some of the worst National Anthem blunders, Stapleton’s Super Bowl performance is considered one of the best ever.
