Ciara visited the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday. Accompanied by three backup singers, the “I Bet” artist sung an acapella version of the national anthem as the players anxiously waited to run from base to base.
While online critics shared their two cents on her rendition of the patriotic song, Ciara was unbothered.
Well, I’ll say this about Ciara’s rendition of the National Anthem: at least it’s over.
